2024 Hawaii General Election Results

Results from the 2024 Hawaiʻi General Election are being posed here as they become available, with a focus on races impacting Maui County.

At 6:10 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2024, the state Office of Elections released a third summary report for Maui County, resulting in revised totals for some Maui races. In the South Maui Council race, Tom Cook has 26,315 votes (41.6%), ahead of Kelly Takaya King who has 26,198 votes (41.4%) following the third county printout. That narrows the gap to just 117 votes between the two. All other Maui council incumbents and Maui incumbents seeking reelection to the state House and Senate were well ahead of their opponents in respective races after the third printout.

Maui and Kauaʻi counties released third reports shortly after 6 a.m. Honolulu’s third summary report was released just before 8:30 a.m, and Hawaiʻi County completed its third summary report at 10:48 a.m. At 12:23 p.m., a fourth summary report was issued for Kauaʻi County. The updated results are not yet reflected in the latest statewide summary report.

The third Maui printout also changed the voter turnout numbers for Maui County. Total voter registration in Maui County was 115,009, with total turnout tallied at 63,275 voters or 55%—including 57,415 mail-in votes and 5,860 in-person votes. Thatʻs well ahead of the 25% in the primary, but down from the 66% turnout in the last presidential election in 2020. The image below shows the latest Maui specific results as of 6:10 a.m. on Nov. 6. The finalized statewide printout is pending release by the state Office of Elections.

Previous report:

As of midnight on Wednesday, the state’s first summary report of results had yet to be released.

At mid-day, lines at voter service centers on Maui were long. Voters reported waiting for more than two and a half hours at the Velma McWayne Santos Community Center in Wailuku before casting their ballots on Tuesday afternoon. Some residents came from as far away as Hāna to cast their ballot in person at the Wailuku facility. There were also long lines reported earlier today at the Lahaina Civic Center which was also open for in person voting on Maui.

Lines were even longer on Oʻahu where wait times were between three to four hours and up to six hours at some locations. With hundreds of people in line at some locations before the 7 p.m. cutoff time, it is expected to be hours before all eligible remaining votes are processed.

The first printout is expected after all voter service centers are confirmed to be closed. Lines at the voter service centers are impacting the release of the first set of results. Subsequent results will be released as further tallies are received. A final summary report will be released after all counties have verified results.

As of around 10:30 p.m., Maui voting appeared to have concluded in Wailuku on Maui. Voters were still reported to be in line casting ballots at Kapolei Hale on Oʻahu at last report.

Maui Now will update the results when they become available.
