To: Governor David Ige
Vote by mail, Hawaii!
HB124/SB219, relating to elections, has passed the Hawaii Legislature. This bill calls for phasing in by-mail voting beginning in 2016 and covering the whole state by 2020. We, the undersigned voters, urge you Governor Ige to sign this important bill to make voting easier.
Why is this important?
Voter participation is dropping and the change introduced by this bill could help reverse that trend.
Fuller participation will assure that our legislators will continue working for the needs of the people instead of being persuaded to work more for the special interests of the lobbyists.
