Hawaii Constitutional Amendment Question 2: County RISE bonds outside county debt limits

On the November 3, 2026 ballot. Ask the guide what a yes vote and a no vote would each do, in the official wording.

The question on the ballot

Shall the Hawaii State Constitution be amended to direct the legislature to authorize the counties to issue resilient infrastructure for shelter and equity bonds to fund public improvements in designated districts, repaid solely by future growth in property tax revenues within those districts, not by increasing real property tax rates, where such bonds are excluded from the counties' debt limit and are subject to accountability and oversight requirements as may be provided by law?

Where, when and how to vote

The guide doesn't answer these. The current, official answers are with Hawaii Office of Elections.
