In order to get on the ballot in Hawaii, a candidate for state or federal office must meet a variety of state-specific filing requirements and deadlines. These regulations, known as ballot access laws, determine whether a candidate or party will appear on an election ballot. These laws are set at the state level. A candidate must prepare to meet ballot access requirements well in advance of primaries, caucuses, and the general election.

There are three basic methods by which an individual may become a candidate for office in a state.

1. An individual can seek the nomination of a state-recognized political party.
2. An individual can run as an independent. Independent candidates often must petition in order to have their names printed on the general election ballot.
3. An individual can run as a write-in candidate.

This article outlines the steps that prospective candidates for state-level and congressional office must take in order to run for office in Hawaii. For information about filing requirements for presidential candidates, see "Ballot access requirements for presidential candidates in Hawaii." Information about filing requirements for local-level offices is not available in this article (contact state election agencies for information about local candidate filing processes).

## Process to become a candidate[edit]

Application for nomination papers, 2014

See statutes: Chapter 12, Part I of the Hawaii Revised Statutes

In Hawaii, all candidates, regardless of partisan affiliation, must be nominated via the state's primary election before appearing on a general election ballot. In the primary election, a candidate may run as a nonpartisan or as a member of a political party. Nonpartisan candidates appear on a separate, nonpartisan ballot.[5][6][7]

### Nomination papers[edit]

To be placed on the ballot, a candidate must first file an application for nomination papers with the Hawaii Office of Elections. Nomination papers are available on the first business day in February in every even-numbered year.[6][8]

Nomination papers must be signed by voters qualified to vote for the office being sought by the candidate. The number of signatures required is as follows:[6][9]

* A candidate seeking the offices of United States senator, United States representative, governor or lieutenant governor must collect 25 signatures.
* A candidate seeking office in the Hawaii State Legislature must collect 15 signatures.

A signer may sign for only one candidate per office, unless there is more than one seat available for that office. When signing the nomination paper, the signer must provide the following information:[6][10]

* his or her name
* his or her residential address
* his or her date of birth
* the last four digits of his or her Social Security number
* a statement verifying that he or she is qualified to vote for the candidate and that he or she nominates the candidate for the office specified

The following must also be included on the nomination paper:[10]

* the residential address and county in which the candidate resides
* a sworn certification, by self-subscribing oath, by the candidate affirming that he or she is qualified for the office being sought and that all the information provided by the candidate on the nomination paper is correct
* a sworn certification, by self-subscribing oath, by a party candidate that the candidate is a member of the party whose affiliation is indicated on the nomination paper (this is only required of political party candidates)

### Filing nomination papers[edit]

The deadline to file nomination papers is the first Tuesday in June. Candidates are advised to file papers early and to collect more than the minimum number of signatures. Exceptions or extensions on filing are prohibited, and once a nomination paper has been filed, a candidate cannot add more signatures.[11][6]

A candidate who holds a public office other than that being sought must resign from his or her current office before filing to be a candidate for a new office. When filing nomination papers, the candidate must certify, by self-subscribing oath, that he or she has resigned from his or her former office.[6]

At the time of filing, the candidate must designate what name he or she wishes to appear on the ballot. A candidate is allowed a maximum of 27 typed spaces on the ballot for names, which includes all letters, spaces, and punctuation marks. Titles are not permitted as part of a candidate's name.[6]

Upon filing, the candidate must sign before a notary public a written oath of affirmation. In order to sign the oath, the candidate must provide a photo ID to the notary public.[6][12]

Any challenges or objections to a candidate's nomination paper must be raised before the 60th day prior to the primary election. Challenges and objections may be raised by registered voters, political party officers who were named on the nomination paper, or by the state's chief elections officer.[6][13]

### Filing fees[edit]

Filing fees are due at time of filing and must be paid by cash, money order, or certified cashier’s check. Personal or campaign checks will not be accepted. Filing fees may be discounted if the candidate agrees to abide by the state’s voluntary campaign spending limits. Filing fees vary according to the office being sought and are detailed in the table below.[6][11]

Filing fees

Office sought  | Filing fee  | Discounted filing fee
United States senator or United States representative | $75 | Not applicable
Governor or lieutenant governor | $750 | $75
All other offices | $250 | $25

If a candidate cannot afford to pay the filing fee, he or she can instead file an affidavit attesting to that fact and submit a petition in lieu of the filing fee. The petition must be signed by one-half of 1 percent of the total number of registered voters as of the most recent general election in the district in which the candidate is seeking election.[6][11]

### Qualifying for the general election ballot[edit]

The party candidate who receives the most votes at the primary election advances to the general election.[14]

A nonpartisan candidate can move on to the general election ballot in one of the following ways:[7]

* by receiving at least 10 percent of the votes cast for the office
* by receiving a number of votes equal to the lowest number of votes received by a partisan candidate who was nominated in the primary election for the office

If more nonpartisan candidates gain access to the general election ballot than there are offices up for election, only the nonpartisan candidate who received the highest vote for the office will move on to the general election.[7][14]

## Petition requirements[edit]

See also: Methods for signing candidate nominating petitions

See statutes: Chapter 12 Part I, Section 6 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes

In some cases, political parties and/or candidates may need to obtain signatures via the petition process to gain ballot access. This section outlines the laws and regulations pertaining to petitions and circulators in Hawaii.

### Format requirements[edit]

In Hawaii, petitions are used to establish new political parties or to waive filing fees. Petitions are prescribed to political parties and candidates by the Hawaii Office of Elections. Petition sets should not be separated.[15][16]

### Circulation requirements[edit]

The Hawaii Revised Statutes do not address requirements for petition circulators. Specifically, there are no residency requirements for circulators.

### Objections[edit]

A signer may withdraw his or her name from a petition as long as the petition has not yet been filed with the Hawaii Office of Elections. To do so, the signer must file a written notice with the Hawaii Office of Elections. This notice must include the following information:[15][17]

* the signer's name
* the signer's Social Security number
* the signer's residence address
* the signer's date of birth
* the signer's signature, included with the printed name under which the signer is registered to vote
