Downtown-Chinatown: what is on the ballot, Tuesday, November 3, 2026

The contests a voter in Downtown-Chinatown may see, with the candidates the Office of Elections' candidate report lists as “In General.” Where districts split the area, each is shown with its share of the area's populated land; a voter's own ballot depends on the address.

Check an address against the office's maps: Districts and Precincts. Where to vote in person: voter service centers.

Basis. Candidates: the State of Hawaiʻi Office of Elections' 2026 Candidate Report (last updated September 4, 2026, as the office prints it), read Sept. 27, 2026; names, parties and statuses as the report prints them. Districts: the state's 2024 election precinct layer (the office's precincts), each district counted by the land of the precincts with population that fall in Downtown-Chinatown; districts under 2% are left out. Which seats are up: the office's contest schedule. The Ledger publishes no candidate's contact details, links, statements or photos, endorses no one, and sells nothing to any candidate. Corrections: the corrections log.
