HONOLULU — Hawaii election officials are scheduled to brief lawmakers about next year’s start of all-mail voting.
Clerks from each of the state’s four major counties are expected to speak at the state Capitol on Wednesday, along with Chief Election Officer Scott Nago.
Gov. David Ige earlier this year signed legislation instituting voting by mail across all counties beginning with the 2020 primary election on Aug. 8.
Hawaii is the fourth state to shift to all-mail elections. Oregon was the first in 2000, followed by Washington state and Colorado.
The new law calls for some voter service centers where people may drop off their mail-in ballots or cast their ballots in person if they choose. The centers will be open starting 10 business days before the election.
