I got my ballot on Oct. 17 in my mailbox. I attended to it immediately, doing a little research and fact-checking on the internet before returning it the next morning by hand to my postman, who checked to make sure I had signed it. I love the USPS despite Louis DeJoy’s efforts to slow down deliveries for the sake of profit.
Rather than putting that unfilled ballot aside to avoid until the last minute, I urge you to take care of your duty immediately. Please don’t procrastinate; federal elections don’t run on Hawaii time.
Hawaii is known for its paltry election turnout. A recent Star-Advertiser poll indicated that 80% of the electorate planned to vote. That would be over twice the turnout of recent elections over the past two decades. Let’s hope it’s true. It couldn’t be easier to vote.
