OFFICER OF THE STATE OF HAWAII TO USE PLAIN LANGUAGE SUCH AS THE
TERM "VOTE BY MAIL" INSTEAD OF "ABSENTEE VOTING" FOR THE PURPOSE OF
IMPROVING CLARITY TO INCREASE TURNOUT OF REGISTERED VOTERS AT
ELECTIONS."
Pursuant to Section 2(g) of Rule 4 of the Rules of Procedure of the Council of the County of
Hawai`i, this written request is submitted with my approval that the above-referenced matter be
waived from the Committee on Governmental Relations and Economic Development to the full
Council for immediate action. In reviewing this matter, timely approval is crucial. It is therefore
advantageous that approval is granted and the matter be placed onto the next Council agenda for
review. However, in the event this request is denied, for whatever reason, I understand the
matter shall be referred to the Committee on Governmental Relations and Economic
Development for placement on its future agenda.
Sincerely,
