How this guide is made

Proposed Constitutional Amendments

The wording of each question is copied word for word from the Office of Elections' official voter guide. The "what your vote means" lines and plain-words summaries are ours, and each line links to its source.

Candidates

The list of races and candidates is the Office of Elections' official candidate list for the November 3, 2026 general election ↗, in the order the Office of Elections lists them (your ballot may list them in a different order), with names as they appear on the ballot. Each profile lists checkable facts with links to where they came from, the candidate's own stated priorities clearly labeled as theirs, and links to official records and campaign finance filings. We don't rate candidates, list endorsements, or publish polling.

Counties and local questions

This guide does not cover county and local races or local questions yet. Your sample ballot lists everything you will vote on.

Districts

District lines on the map come from U.S. Census Bureau files of the Hawaii's 2022 legislative maps drawn by the 2021 Reapportionment Commission. Your sample ballot is the final word.
