SB1515

SB1515 replaces boards of registration with on-call circuit judges to resolve election disputes.

SB1515 amends Hawaii election laws to replace boards of registration with on-call circuit judges for resolving voter challenges and disputes. Registered voters can challenge another voter's eligibility, and the challenged voter can appeal to an on-call circuit judge. The judge's decision is final unless appealed to an appellate court. The bill also updates rules for residency determinations and campaign activities near polling places. The changes aim to streamline the process for resolving election disputes.
