The state Office of Elections is urging Maui voters impacted by the August wildfires to check and update their voter registration ahead of the 2024 elections.
Ballots are sent to voters' mailing addresses, so checking to make sure these are current will ensure that the 2024 primary and general election ballots are successfully delivered next year, election officials said.
"We understand that this is a difficult time for the impacted communities, but we want to ensure that they can still exercise their right to vote by reminding voters to keep their voter registration up to date," Chief Election Officer Scott Nago said in a news release Monday.
When voters move or change their addresses, they must update their voter registration because ballots are not forwardable, the Office of Elections said. Changes of address made with the U.S. Postal Service do not carry through to voter registration. Voters must complete a registration application to update their information.
Election officials sent out voter registration applications to Lahaina voters with information about updating their mailing addresses.
Voters may also update their registration at elections.hawaii.gov by logging in with a Hawaii driver's license or state ID. Voter registration applications are also available at libraries, post offices and the Maui County Elections Division at 200 S. High St. in Wailuku.
