## About the chamber[edit]

Members of the Hawaii House of Representatives serve two-year terms and are not subject to term limits. Each two-year term begins on the day of the general election.[1] Hawaii legislators assume office on the day they are elected in the general election.[2]

### Qualifications[edit]

See also: State legislature candidate requirements by state

From Article III, Section 7 of the Hawaii Constitution: "No person shall be eligible to serve as a member of the house of representatives unless the person has been a resident of the State for not less than three years, has attained the age of majority and is, prior to filing nomination papers and thereafter continues to be, a qualified voter of the representative district from which the person seeks to be elected; except that in the year of the first general election following reapportionment, but prior to the primary election, an incumbent representative may move to a new district without being disqualified from completing the remainder of the incumbent representative's term."

### Salaries[edit]

$62,604/year| For legislators who do not reside on Oahu: $225/day. For legislators living on Oahu during the mandatory five-day recess only: $10/day. Legislators who do not reside on Oahu are reimbursed for air travel costs.

### Vacancies[edit]

See also: How vacancies are filled in state legislatures

If there is a vacancy in the Hawaii State Legislature, the governor is responsible for appointing a replacement. For all vacancies, the governor must appoint a replacement within 60 days after the vacancy happens. The candidate is selected from a list of three prospective candidates submitted by the political party that last held the vacant seat. The party has thirty days after the vacancy to submit a list of prospective candidates. If the person leaving the seat is an independent (no party affiliation), the governor must select a resident from the vacant district that is not a member of any political party.[3][4]

## Redistricting[edit]

### 2020-2022[edit]

See also: Redistricting in Hawaii after the 2020 census

The Hawaii Reapportionment Commission approved new legislative district maps on January 28, 2022.[5] The commission's Technical Committee Permitted Interaction Group initially presented the state legislative map plans to the commission for consideration on October 14, 2021. The map plans were approved for public comment on October 28.[6] On January 6, the commission approved a motion to modify the legislative map plans after learning the initial plans had not properly accounted for the number of nonpermanent resident personnel on military installations in the state, who are not included in legislative redistricting. Under the modified proposal, one legislative district would be moved from Oahu to Hawaii.[7][8] This map takes effect for Hawaii's 2022 state legislative elections.

How does redistricting in Hawaii work? In Hawaii, a nine-member commission draws both congressional and state legislative district lines. The majority and minority leaders of the Hawaii State Senate and Hawaii House of Representatives each select two members. These eight members then select a ninth tie-breaking commissioner. If the commission is unable to reach an agreement on a ninth member, the Hawaii Supreme Court must make the appointment.[9]

Both congressional and state legislative district boundaries must be contiguous and compact. In addition, where possible, district lines "must follow permanent and easily recognized features ... and coincide with census tracts." In addition, "districts must also avoid submerging one area in another with substantially different predominant socioeconomic interests." No district can be drawn "to unduly favor a person or political faction."[9]

State law permits state legislative districts to be multimember, but a maximum of four representatives can be elected from a single district.[9]
