2019 Neighborhood Board Elections

From Honolulu Neighborhood Commission

Who can vote?

Any Oahu resident who will be at least 18 years of age by February 15, 2019 can become a registered voter, including military personnel, military family members, and legal resident aliens.

If you voted in the 2018 General elections, you are automatically eligible to vote in the 2019 Neighborhood Board elections. 

Residents who are not eligible to vote in the General elections may also submit a voter application to the NCO specifically for the Neighborhood Board elections. Forms must be postmarked or hand delivered by February 15, 2019.

How can I find out which Board or district I am eligible to vote for?

There is a street index posted online at www.honolulu.gov/nco.

Assistance is available by calling 768-3710.

When will the Neighborhood Board elections begin and end?

The election is slated to begin April 26, 2019 and end Friday, May 17, 2019.

When will voting passcodes be mailed out?

Passcodes will be mailed out to eligible voters prior to Friday, April 26, 2019. Voters residing in an uncontested race area will not receive a passcode.

Online Voting Ends: 11:59 p.m. on Friday, May 17, 2019.

Online voting locations: 

The following voting sites with computer access will be open during the period of April 26, 2019 through May 17, 2019 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.:

Any public library on Oahu within the Hawaii State Public Library System (see library hours)

What if I can't vote online?

If you are unable to vote online, you can request a paper ballot by calling the Ballot Request Hotline at 768-3763 no later than Monday, May 13, 2019, 4:30 p.m. with your full name, last four digits of your SSN, and residential address. Returned ballots must be postmarked by Monday, May 13, 2019 and received by the NCO no later than Friday, May 24, 2019.

When will the results be released?

The Results are released no later than 7 days following the end of voting.

How often are the Neighborhood Board elections?

Neighborhood Boards are elected every two years, in odd numbered years.

Why doesn't the NCO hold elections in conjunction with the State elections?

The State has opined that the Neighborhood Board elections may not be permitted into the State's polling places during the conduct of State or County elections.

Why is on-line the preferred method of voting?

In 2009, Neighborhood started on-line voting as a means to cut costs and be more environmentally friendly.

Why will uncontested districts not receive a passcode?

This is a cost-saving measure as uncontested districts have one or fewer candidates, in which case voting is not necessary.
