s the correct social security number of a duly registered Hawaii County voter. Those signatures were preliminarily deemed valid. 11. A subsequent manual review, in accordance the basic procedures and policies used in 1988 to determine the sufficiency of the initiative petition relating to Hapuna Beach, was conducted. The manual review included but was not limited to the following actions: a. The information in the column entitled "Date" was checked to confirm that the signer indicated a date of signing. Persons who did not provide the information had their signatures invalidated (for example, some of the signers on one page listed their date of birth). Also persons who were not registered voters on the date of signing or for whom we did not receive, prior to validation, a voter registration affidavit executed prior to or contemporaneously with the petition signing, were invalidated as having a "prior signature date." The date check was made of every signature deemed valid. b. If the computerized check indicated that the name and social security number did not match, voter registration files were searched to determine if the name on the petition corresponded to a duly registered Hawaii County voter. If so, then the social security numbers on the petition and in the voter registration file were examined to discover the reason for the discrepancy. In those cases in which it was determined that numbers had been transposed or a minor discrepancy was probably the result of a difficult to read number, the signature was validated. Also, a check was conducted to determine if the voter's name had changed or if the voter pro- vided an incomplete name (initials only) or a nickname. -5-
