Hawaii Recount Laws

This information was initially released on October 21, 2010. As of our most recent update (September 2010), Hawaii does not have any laws mandating recounts of any kind. A 2001 task force suggested a number of laws, but their recommendations were vetoed by the governor in 2002.
