Hawaii Ballot Returns 2026

Loading…

Source: the Hawaii Office of Elections' daily Voting Report, which counts mail ballots sent and returned, electronic ballots, and in-person votes at voter service centers for each county and each precinct. Hawaii votes by mail: every registered voter is mailed a ballot, which must reach voters at least 18 days before Election Day, and voter service centers open for in-person voting and same-day registration 10 business days before it (Oct 20 this year). Hawaii has no party registration, so there is no party split, and none is estimated.

Where 2026 stands

Ballots returned by days before Election Day

Each dot is one morning report. The 2026 general election (Nov 3) is set against the 2026 primary (Aug 8) at the same number of days before its Election Day. The primary is a lower-turnout election, so compare how fast ballots come back, not how many. The Office posted no day-by-day reports for the 2022 or 2024 generals that survive; their final turnout can be shown as reference lines.

At the same point

Turnout per registered voter

Ballots returned so far as a share of registered voters (the 2026 primary's registration, the latest count by district), so places of very different size can be compared. Each 2026 dot sits beside the same place's share at the same number of days before the 2026 primary. Click a row to make it the geography for every section.

Every county and all 51 state House districts: ballots sent and returned in the latest report, against the 2026 primary at the same point and against final turnout in the 2026 primary and the 2024 and 2022 generals. District lines are the 2022 plan, used in all of these elections. Click a row to make it the geography for every section. Counts from 1 to 9 show "<10".
