QUESTION #1 Increasing the Timeframe for the Hawaii Senate to Consider and Act on Judicial Appointments
Shall the Constitution of the State of Hawaii be amended to allow the Senate more time to consider and act on the appointments of justices and judges, by increasing the timeframe from thirty days to sixty days for appointments made between April 1 and December 31 when the senate is not in regular session or is about to adjourn the regular session?

QUESTION #2 Directing the Hawaii State Legislature to Establish Procedures for Counties to Issue RISE Bonds, Exempt from County Debt Limits
Shall the Hawaii State Constitution be amended to direct the legislature to authorize the counties to issue resilient infrastructure for shelter and equity bonds to fund public improvements in designated districts, repaid solely by future growth in property tax revenues within those districts, not by increasing real property tax rates, where such bonds are excluded from the counties’ debt limit and are subject to accountability and oversight requirements as may be provided by law?
What these labels mean
The official source reviewed shows these measures but may not be the full ballot. Other statewide measures can exist.
The official site would not let us read it, or no 2026 list we can quote has been published. We say so here instead of guessing.
