Am I eligible to vote in Hawaii?

In Hawaii, you are eligible to vote if you are a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years of age, registered to vote, and a resident of the State of Hawaii.

Hawaii allows 16- and 17-year-old citizens to pre-register to vote. When you turn 18, you will automatically be registered to vote. If you would like to pre-register to vote, see below Voter Registration.

You CANNOT register and vote if you have been sentenced for a felony crime, from the time of your sentencing until the final discharge of your sentence. You CAN register and vote if you are on parole or probation. To learn more about voting rights for former felons, see Article II of the state constitution.
