The commission also asked the Legislature to consider returning to one-day, in-person voting, and narrowly rejected firing chief election officer Scott Nago. Concerns about differences in voting counts between a county and the state in last year’s election prompted the Hawaiʻi Elections Commission on Wednesday to call for statewide audit of the elections. The commission initially voted 9-0 to ask the Legislature to direct the Hawaiʻi Office of the Auditor to audit only Kauaʻi County’s general election. Commission Chair Mike Curtis and John Sabas, one of two new commissioners, abstained from the vote. The Hawaiʻi Elections Commission wants the state auditor to audit the state’s 2024 election statewide.
