Hawaii Family Forum Primary Election Voter Guide
We are finishing up our 2024 Primary Election Voter Guide and will send it out sometime next week if all goes well. In addition, we will make other election resources available to you as we receive them. Click here for election resources.
Because we are a 501C3 organization, we can't tell you who to vote for. We can, however, provide you with non-partisan voter information so you can make the best choice possible.
Being a Christian doesn't impede our responsibility to vote. It does just the opposite. Our faith is a grounding element that helps us decide based on our Christian worldview. A worldview, properly formed and based on biblical principles, will ultimately change the world.
Stay tuned!
Your Vote is Your Voice!

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE:
SB 3125 HD 2 Relating to Medical Care for Minors
Authorizes minors who are at least fourteen years old to consent to medical care and services for sexually transmitted infections, pregnancy, and family planning services, including the prevention of sexually transmitted infections. Requires confidentiality policies and practices for insurers and health care providers. Effective 1/1/2025. (HD2). This bill was signed into law by Governor Green: Act 091, 06/27/2024 (Gov. Msg. No. 1192)
HB 2802 HD 1 PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE 1, SECTION 23, OF THE HAWAII CONSTITUTION RELATING TO MARRIAGE
Proposes a constitutional amendment to repeal the Legislature's authority to limit marriage to opposite-sex couples. (HD1) The question that will be on the ballot in November will read;
"Shall the state constitution be amended to repeal the legislature's authority to reserve marriage to opposite-sex couples?"
Because this is a constitutional amendment, the Governor does not need to sign this bill. This is a question that will be on the General Election Ballot. We will have more information about ballot questions after the Primary.
FEDERAL UPDATE:
Since the beginning of July, the Biden administration has switched its stance on sex-change surgeries for children twice. The administration now says that sex-change surgeries “are typically reserved for adults,” but that “families should have the freedom to make the medical decisions that they and their doctors determine are best for them.”
