Nineteen Hawaii elections have already been decided – without a single vote being cast – because the incumbent is running unopposed. Another 24 elections will be decided in the low-turnout August 13 Primary. At minimum, 43 elections will be decided without ever facing the general electorate.
Elected automatically, because they have no opponent are three Senators, 13 Representatives, one OHA Trustee, and two County Councilmembers.

An additional 24 elections will not be presented to November 8 General Election voters. These will be decided by the much smaller August 13 Primary electorate.
