Three ‘Nago ballots’ sent to Florida-registered voters

What happened

Three ballots identified as “Nago ballots” were sent to voters registered in Florida in connection with a tie vote in Hawaii House District 43.

The ballots are the central development in the HD43 matter. The title identifying the ballots does not explain why they were sent to Florida-registered voters or what role they play in resolving the tie.

What is known

The matter involves three ballots, voters registered in Florida and a tie vote in HD43. The ballots are referred to as “Nago ballots,” using quotation marks around the term.

No candidate is identified in the information available for this brief, and no candidate position is connected to the development.

What to watch

The next point is how election officials handle the three ballots and whether the ballots affect the outcome or resolution of the HD43 tie vote.

The status of the ballots, the reason they were sent to Florida-registered voters and any official action that follows remain the key process questions.
