Hawaii HB1435 replaces boards of registration with on-call circuit judges for hearing election disputes.
Hawaii HB1435 amends the state's election laws by replacing the boards of registration with on-call circuit judges for handling disputes. This change aims to streamline the process, as the number of incidents requiring immediate resolution has declined with the transition to a vote-by-mail model. The on-call circuit judge will hear appeals from decisions made by precinct officials and voter service center officials. The bill also updates definitions and procedures related to residency, voter challenges, and contested nominations of presidential electors.
