Hawaii Officials Plan For 5/22 Special House Election
The HI State Office of Elections has set 5/22 as the target date for the special election to replace Rep. Neil Abercrombie (D-01), according to a 2/23 notice the office sent to vendors. Abercrombie will resign his seat on 2/28.
While the date for the vote-by-mail special is tentatively set for 5/22, that's not set in stone. The State Office of Elections memo warns, "A variety of issues related to funding, logistical, and legal matters may impact that date."
Indeed, the state has had a difficult time finding funding for what's expected to be a $900K+ special election, and officials have warned that legal issues pertaining to the purchase voting machines could potentially move the election to a later date.
The election will feature the names the names of at least three candidates: ex-HI-02 Rep. Ed Case (D), '02/'06 HI-02 candidate/state Sen. Colleen Hanabusa (D) and Honolulu Councilor Charles Djou (R).
GOPers are hoping that Dems split the vote, allowing Djou to slide to victory. But recent polling shows Case with a big early lead.
