Commission sees election success in all-mail balloting
Despite a 2020 general election when some Oahu polls closed almost four hours late and some Hilo voters spent three hours in line, the state Elections Commission is sending the Legislature a rosy review in its required biennial evaluation of the conduct of the election.
During a meeting Thursday via Zoom, the commission, already 20 days late in submitting its report, voted to send a report that doesn’t include concerns raised by residents and groups submitting comments during a meeting last month. The report, under state law, is required to include findings and recommendations from the biennial evaluation.
