13. Of those signatures or names, a manual review was conducted of each signature <br /> <br /> line to determine if the name and address provided by the signer matched the general register <br /> (Statewide Voter Registration System.) Because no ordinance had been adopted to guide the <br /> sufficiency and validation process, candidate nomination and political party petition procedures <br /> were used to guide the validation process. <br /> In the past, when social security numbers were required to be provided on a <br /> petition, the Office of the County Clerk used the social security numbers as the initial method of <br /> globally locating whether persons were registered to vote in the County of Hawaii. Without this <br /> <br /> precise locator now, the elector's name was used to manually search the general register <br /> <br /> (Statewide Voter Registration System). <br /> The manual review included, but was not limited to, the following actions: <br /> a. Every name was compared to the general register (statewide voter <br /> registration system.) If it was determined that the name matched the name <br /> of a duly registered Hawaii County voter, and if the residence address <br /> matched the address in the general register, the signature was deemed <br /> valid assuming it was properly dated. <br /> b. Persons who were not registered through a search of the general register <br /> were invalidated (NR). <br /> c. The information in the column entitled "Today's Date" was checked to <br /> confirm that the signer indicated a proper date of signing. Persons who <br /> did not provide the date of signing, or provided an incomplete date, had <br /> their signatures invalidated (NSD). <br /> 6 <br /> <br />
