SB1515 replaces boards of registration with on-call circuit judges for resolving election disputes in Hawaii.

SB1515 amends Hawaii election laws by replacing boards of registration with on-call circuit judges for resolving disputes over voter challenges and contested nominations of presidential electors. The bill streamlines the process by removing the boards of registration, which have seen declining use with the state's transition to a vote-by-mail model. Instead, on-call circuit judges will hear appeals from decisions made by precinct officials, ensuring timely resolution of election disputes.
