Candidate filing closed Friday, February 15, 2013 with only 421 registered according to information posted on the Honolulu Neighborhood Commission website.  Asked about the additional 50 candidates, NCO employee Bryan Mick explained: “We were still able to accept applications until the 22nd as long as they were postmarked by the 15th.  However, that was only a few. What was happening thru the cycle was in the morning we would get the current list and post it. So any applications that day would be reflected at a later date. Being the last day, we had a rush. Since we allowed applications online this year, the website was available till midnight (after the office had closed).”

The newly elected Boards take office July 1, 2013 and serve until June 30, 2015.
