The strongest case for each side
For the governor's race, both resident trustee races, and both amendments, the best honest argument each way. Equal space, no endorsement.
A blank vote counts as a no
An amendment passes only if yes votes reach at least half of all ballots cast, blanks included. Skip Question 1 or 2 and you've helped the no side. We explain the rule plainly.
The races nobody covers
Every voter statewide picks all five OHA trustees, including three of six at-large candidates. Coverage is thin, and we say so instead of inventing platforms.
Sourced, not spun
Every factual claim is tied to reporting and official records, listed at the back.

Is it partisan?
No. PolitiGeist is independent and makes no endorsement in any race or on either amendment. The point is the strongest case for both sides.
What does it cover?
Governor and Lieutenant Governor (one joint ticket), the Maui and Oʻahu resident trustee seats and the three at-large seats on the Office of Hawaiian Affairs board, and Questions 1 and 2. There's no U.S. Senate race in Hawaii this year, and judges are appointed with no retention votes. U.S. House, legislative, county charter, and local races aren't included.
What happens if I skip an amendment?
It counts against it. An amendment needs a majority of the yes and no votes, and yes votes equal to at least half of all ballots cast, including blank ones. If you want Question 1 or 2 to pass, mark yes.
