Drive-thru voter registration today

LIHU‘E — The Elections Division of the Office of the County Clerk is offering drive-thru voter registration services in the back parking area between the Historic County Building and state Department of Human Services Kaua‘i Processing Center (former courthouse).

Services are today and Monday, Oct. 5, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The deadline to register to vote in the general election is Monday.

Those wishing to register to vote are asked to remain in their vehicles, wear masks, and use their own black or blue pens. Election Division staff will approach the vehicle with a registration application and clipboard.

U.S. citizens who are Hawai‘i residents at least 16 years old may register to vote, though those younger than 18 cannot vote until they turn 18.

People can register to vote or update their voter registration online at elections.hawaii.gov, or by submitting a voter registration application to the Elections Division.

To use the online voter-registration system, those interested in registering or updating information need to log in with their Hawai‘i driver license or state ID. Otherwise, people can fill out a paper voter-registration application, available at election offices, post offices and online at elections.hawaii.gov.

Voters are advised to contact the Elections Division if they have questions or concerns regarding election-related matters. Official election information will only be disseminated through the Elections Division of the Office of the County Clerk, the State Office of Elections, or via the public information officer of the County of Kaua‘i. Election Officials cannot assure the accuracy of election information obtained through social media or related sources.
