Voter advocates say
HAWAII should set up more voter service centers after a last-minute surge of interest led to hours-long lines for in-person voting on
election Day even as the state switched to a vote-by-mail system for casting ballots.
Overall, the state’s vote-by-mail election appears to have been a big success, leading to record numbers of voters participating.
More than 69% of registered voters cast ballots, the highest ratio for the state since 1994.
