Research draftList not marked certified

Research draft. We gathered this from official sources on October 27, 2026: election offices, state laws and court records, each linked to its source. Separate reviewers checked a random sample of 48 facts from the ballot-measure research against the cited sources and found no errors. The rest hasn't been reviewed fact by fact yet, so check the linked source before relying on anything here.

§2Where this list comes from

The list above comes from these official sources. Researched October 27, 2026.

None of them calls the list certified or final, so we don’t either.

§3Notes on the research

What the research couldn’t find or confirm, in its own plain words. Nothing is left out silently.

  • Neither the Office of Elections’ amendments page nor its general election voter guide calls the list of questions certified or final, so the list is not marked certified.
  • The Legislature’s bill pages for the full amendment texts (capitol.hawaii.gov, SB 121 of 2025 and SB 3219 of 2026) answered with a security block, so the bill texts were not read; the yes and no sentences rest on the Attorney General’s explanations in the Office of Elections voter guide and the current constitution.
  • No constitutional convention question appears on the 2026 ballot in the Office of Elections materials.
