Ka Wai Ola - Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Volume 15, Number 11, 1 November 1998 — What a blank vote means [ARTICLE]

What a blank vote means

The issue of whether to hold a constitutional convention is back before the voters this year because of uncertainty as to how to count the number of blank votes cast in 1 996. The Office of Elections has therefore clarified that in 1 998 a blank vote on any of the three constitutional issues will be counted as a NO vote. A blank vote on any of the eight city charter amendments, or for any candidate, will not be counted at ali. OHA's Governmental Affairs Office will be happy to answer any questions.
