A Targeted Campaign To Register More Voters Comes To Hawaiʻi

Mail balloting and convenient voter registration are under fire these days, both nationally and in the islands.

President Donald Trump recently announced a campaign to get everyone back to voting at the polls on Election Day. Heʻs also pushing to require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship (such as a birth certificate or passport) when registering to vote in federal elections.

A subcommittee of the Hawaiʻi Elections Commission is calling for a return to voting at the polls — on paper ballots that would be hand-counted.

So you could say the Voter Participation Center is swimming upstream.
