SB2735 amends Hawaii election laws to clarify the appointment and duties of election watchers.

SB2735 amends Hawaii election laws by updating the appointment process for election watchers. Each qualified political party can appoint one watcher, and there must be at least one from the news media, with additional watchers allowed as space permits. Watchers must be registered voters, visibly wear identification, and take an oath to follow election laws. They can be present at voter service centers or any location where ballots are handled, but must not interfere with election processes. Watchers must report any law violations to election officials, who must attempt to correct them.
