MS. POINDEXTER: How do we define the non-resident population? Would those who are <br />coming here temporarily on their Green Cards or Visas, or non-resident alien? I hate to use the <br />word alien, but--- <br /> <br />MR. UDOVIC: We will find out. <br /> <br />MS. POINDEXTER: That may be a big population in some areas that will make a difference in <br />the redistricting. <br />MR. KANUHA: I have a question. Were they included in the Census? <br /> <br />MS. POINDEXTER: I believe that they were. <br /> <br />MS. NAKAMOTO: Well, just based on our previous discussion, we know that non-residents <br />were included in the Census because we are looking at non-reside <br />resident military. So based on that--- <br /> <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: However, there could be people who are residents but are not American <br />citizens. <br /> <br />MS. NAKAMOTO: Yes. <br /> <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: So, we assume then, that they were counted in the Census? <br /> <br />MR. UDOVIC: We canÓt do much of anything else; we have to deal with the figures that we are <br />given. We canÓt keep guessing, we are going to get the Census figures and the numbers and the <br />tracts and everything. When all this comes down from ESRI, I guess it is, when the contract is <br />made. Once we have that information, I can answer your other question. I think we should be in <br />a position to start making some decisions then. <br /> <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Okay, so we are going to hold that until we have more data to work with. <br /> <br />MR. MELROSE: Just a question. We do have another resource in the audience that might be <br />able to answer, that is Dwayne Yoshina, who was the Director of Elections for the State for 20 <br />plus years. Would it be okay to have Dwayne address that issue? Dwayne, is that an issue you <br />can address for us? <br /> <br />CHR. SIRACUSA: Please come up and sit at the microphone and state your name. <br />appreciate your assistance. <br /> <br />DWAYNE YOSHINA <br />(At this time Dwayne Yoshina, former Chief Election Officer for the State of HawaiÒi came forward to <br />address members of the Commission.) <br /> <br />MR. YOSHINA: I am Dwayne Yoshina, I used to be the Chief Election Officer for the State of <br />HawaiÒi. I have been through three Reapportionments; two in the position of being the Chief <br />26 <br /> <br />
