Why Voting Matters

Every eligible adult in Maui County, Hawaii holds the same power on Election Day: one vote that counts exactly as much as anyone else's. The next election for Maui County voters is Hawaii's state primary on August 12, 2028; local elections can come sooner, so check your local election office. Many Maui County jobs are in restaurants and hospitality and retail, so decisions about tourism and small businesses and local businesses hit close to home.

About 62,900 people voted for president in Maui County in 2024 (down about 11% from 71,000 in 2020). That equals roughly 48% of the county's estimated 131,000 adults, above the statewide rate of about 45%.

That means roughly 67,700 adult residents did not cast a presidential ballot. Some are not eligible, but many are, and that is a lot of untapped power. If just one in 20 of them voted, Maui County would add about 3,380 voices, more than enough to decide a close local race.

Maui County spans about 1,162 square miles of small towns and countryside, averaging roughly 141 people per square mile. About 11% of all Hawaii residents live here.
