Informing the Legislature that on June 3, 2025, the Governor signed the following bill into law: SB1030 SD2 HD1 CD1 (ACT 165).

This bill amends Hawaii's election fraud statute (HRS §19-3) to clarify prohibited conduct. It specifically adds that unconcealed carrying of firearms within 200 feet of polling places constitutes intimidation, prohibits offering money, gifts, or valuable things to influence voting, and clarifies that voting in multiple states' primary elections is allowed if voters were properly registered in each state with intent to make it their legal residence. The law directly affects voters, candidates, and election workers by defining new boundaries for lawful election behavior. These changes reinforce election integrity by explicitly addressing intimidation tactics and voter inducements.
