County only mailed ballots early to those in District 4, Precincts 3 and 4 - not to Precinct 1 which is HPP and Precinct 2 which is Hawaiian Beaches. They wanted to ONLY allow voting by mail for those precincts which are the areas affected by lava. Thanks to intervention by our council representative Ohara, the office of elections revised its plan to limit voting to mail-in only and will now open a polling place (Pahoa Com. Ctr) for precincts 3 and 4. Precincts 1 and 2 will be mailed ballots on July 17. There will be early walk-in voting in Pahoa the two weeks before the Primary Aug. 11th.
