Friday is the last day people may file to be a candidate in the Honolulu Neighborhood Board election.

Oahu residents may apply at www1.honolulu.gov/nco or at 2013NBElection.everyonecounts.com.

Candidate registration forms for people who do not have Internet access are available at the Neighborhood Commission Office by calling 768-3716.

Candidacy is open to Oahu residents who will be at least 18 years old by Friday. Hard-copy forms sent via the mail must be postmarked by Friday and received by Feb. 22.

There are 36 neighborhood boards on Oahu. They hear residents’ concerns on local issues such as crime and roads, and act in an advisory capacity to city government.
