Summary
Half of Hawaii voters skipped the OHA trustee ballot last election — a critical oversight, since these five seats control millions in funding for Native Hawaiian programs. With a $700K voter education push underway, officials are racing to explain that OHA trustees set policy, approve budgets, and shape priorities from charter schools to housing — and that all registered voters, regardless of ethnicity, are eligible to vote. The next board faces big challenges: military land leases, Kaka‘ako Makai plans, and trust land revenue clarity — all while fighting voter apathy and misinformation.
