Candidates Run Statewide

The law requires that at least one resident of Hawaii, Maui, Molokai, Kauai and Oahu be represented on the Office of Hawaiian Affairs Board of Trustees. The remaining four trustees may live on any of the Hawaiian islands and run "At-Large." Despite the residency requirements, all candidates, regardless of where they live, run statewide. In other words, if you are a registered OHA voter, you may cast one vote for eaeh of the five T rustee seats whieh are to be filled this year. On November 4, you will have the opportunity to vote for three At-Large candidates, one candidate from Oahu and one candidate from Maui. Those elected will serve four-year terms.
