Election 2024

Honolulu election officials are apologizing for long waits that left many voters standing in rain and darkness for hours on election night.

At Shiro’s Saimin Haven in Ewa Beach, there’s no shortage of Donald Trump supporters happy about Tuesday’s election including Helena and Jose Carrancho.

“Landmark day in Hawaii constitutional history.”

Hawaii News Now called several key state races on Wednesday, Nov. 6.

The Democrat defeated Republican challenger Bob McDermott in Tuesday’s general election.

The very last voters who squeezed in before polls closed at 7 p.m. braved extraordinary lines, wait times, and rainy weather to make sure their voices were heard.

Common Cause Hawaii program director Camron Hurt says the turnout demonstrates that citizens’ voices are heard, but also emphasized the need for multiple voting access points in order to maintain both election integrity and security.

In light of limited voting locations across the state, paired with residents lining up to vote after work and commuting up to an hour to cast their ballots, the lawmaker suggested more voting locations open in the future.

Dozens of members of the Hawaii Republican Party gathered in Kakaako to watch the presidential election unfold Tuesday night.

Election officials say in-person voter turnout numbers are surprisingly high this election, exceeding numbers from the previous election.
