Hawaii Administrative Rules › Title 3 - DEPARTMENT OF ACCOUNTING AND GENERAL SERVICES › Office of Elections › Chapter 177 - RULES OF THE OFFICE OF ELECTIONS › Subchapter 12 - VOTER SERVICE CENTER - VOTING PROCEDURE › Section 3-177-550 - Voter service center; verification of the identity of currently registered voters

Current through June, 2024
(a) The voter may
				  be required to fill out an application that will be used in conjunction with
				  the statewide voter registration system. In the alternative, they may sign a
				  poll book, record book, or similar means of documenting matters depending on
				  how the voter service center is operated. In either case, the poll book, record
				  book, application, or similar means of documenting matters shall include the
				  ability for the voter to make a mark in the appropriate place if the voter is
				  unable to write for reasons of illiteracy, blindness, or other physical
				  disability. The voter service center official shall print "witnessed by" next
				  to the voter's, mark and sign the voter service center official's
				  name.
(b) To the extent the clerk
				  utilizes an application as part of the voting process, the identity of a voter
				  will be considered verified upon the acceptance and determination by- an
				  election official that the application is in proper order. The application
				  additionally may serve to update a voter's registration record or permit an
				  individual to register to vote for the first time.
(c) Any such application used for purposes of
				  verification will require the voter to provide their name, date of birth,
				  residence address, and mailingaddress. Additionally, the voter will provide
				  their Hawaii Driver License Number, Hawaii State Identification number, or the
				  last four digits of their Social Security Number, if-they do not have a Hawaii
				  Driver License or Hawaii State Identification Card. If the voter indicates they
				  originally had none of these when they initially registered and instead were
				  issued a unique identification number by election officials, then the applicant
				  shall write that number on the application. The contents of the application may
				  additionally require any information that might otherwise be required for a
				  first time registration or to update a current registration.
(d) Any such application used for
				  verification purposes will not be initially considered in proper order if the
				  individual's name, date of birth, or the identification number they provided
				  (i.e. Hawaii Driver License Number, Hawaii State Identification Card Number, or
				  Social Security Number) does not match the statewide voter registration. In the
				  event of a non-match, the application will be treated initially as a new
				  registration or provisional ballot application, to the extent it contains the
				  necessary information. Otherwise, the. applicant will be directed to fill out
				  an application that can serve those purposes.
(e) A clerk may choose to verify a voter's
				  identity, without the above application. As such, the voter may be asked for
				  one of the following:
(1) The provision of a
				  current and valid photo identification:
(A)
				  Hawaii State Driver License;
(B)
				  Hawaii State Identification Card;
(C) Hawaii Student Identification
				  Card;
(D) U.S. Department of
				  Defense Identification Card (including identification cards issued to
				  dependents);
(E) U.S. Passport or
				  U.S. Passport Card; or
(F) Driver
				  License or State Photo Identity Card issued by a Department of Motor Vehicles
				  (or equivalent) in another U.S. jurisdiction.
