Maui voters to decide 10 proposed amendments

Maui County voters are set to decide 10 proposed amendments: eight involving the county charter and two involving the Hawaii Constitution.

Two levels of government

The eight county charter proposals concern the document that sets the structure and rules of Maui County government. The two state proposals concern Hawaii’s Constitution, the governing document for state government.

What voters are deciding

A vote on the county proposals would determine whether the Maui County Charter is changed. A vote on the state proposals would determine whether the Hawaii Constitution is changed. Each amendment will be considered separately on the ballot.

The specific effect of each proposal depends on the language presented to voters. The election will give Maui County voters a role in deciding both county-level and statewide governing rules.
