MS. NAKAMOTO: I would assume it would be in the County Code, because it would be a <br />County election. <br />MS. JARMAN: Perhaps when Mr. Hookano gets back, we can ask him to look it up for us. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: And the question for him is whether or not we can have an all mail <br />election? <br />MS. JARMAN: Right, for a recall election. Or, whether is has to be a precinct election with <br />the voting machines. An election by mail is easier and requires less effort on the part of the <br />Elections Office. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Let's move on to Section 12 -1.7 while we wait for Mr. Hookano. Is <br />there any discussion on Section 12 -1.7? Is there any discussion on Section 12 -1.8? Is there <br />any discussion on Section 12 -1.9? Is there any discussion on Ms. Ford's recommendation <br />that someone recalled should not seek office for four years? <br />MR. SHUMWAY: What section would that be in? <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: I don't think it is currently in any particular section now, but Ms. Ford <br />recommended that we consider whether or not someone who has been recalled should not <br />seek office for four years. Mr. Hookano, you're back. <br />MR. HOOKANO: Was that ten minutes or less? <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: That was nine minutes. <br />MS. JARMAN: Do you want to answer the question about Brenda's recommendation first, <br />or go back to Mr. Hookano? <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: I'll come back to Brenda's question, maybe everyone can be thinking <br />about that. Mr. Hookano, what did you find? <br />MR. HOOKANO: To recall the Mayor, in Honolulu, it requires ten percent of the registered <br />voters in the last Mayoral election. But, 40 percent of those signatures that are gathered <br />cannot be from one council district. For Council members, in Honolulu, it is ten percent of <br />those registered in the district for the last Council election. For the Prosecuting Attorney, it <br />is the same as for the Mayor, ten percent of the total registered voters in the last Prosecuting <br />Attorney election, and 40 percent cannot be from the same council district. For Maui, it is 20 <br />percent of the voters in the last general election, and for Kauai, it is 20 percent of the <br />registered voters in the last general election. So, we actually have the highest percentage out <br />of all the counties. <br />MR. SHUMWAY: For Honolulu, you said ten percent of registered voters, right? <br />32 <br />
