Only 4 out of every 10 Hawaii County voters cast a ballot over the last 7 Primary elections. The Primary is when a lot of the winners get decided, especially in the council and mayoral races. Today and tomorrow, July 13 and 14, you can register to vote at Hilo Bayfront or at Malama Mart in Pahoa. The Elections Office is holding drive-thru voter registration between 9 AM and 4:30 PM at both locations and at KMart in Kona. Please register to vote and cast your ballot for the best candidates in the Primary Election on Aug. 13. Those who have moved or changed their name since the elections in 2014 will need to reregister.
