VOTE-TO-RISE CAMPAIGN REACHES OUT TO HAWAIʻI TEENS

POKENŪHOU < NEWS BRIEFS '

The nonprofit Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement used smartphone technology, stickers, glow sticks and candy to attract potential new voters at the Hawai'i Teen Muzik Festival at Wet-n-Wild Water Park. Hawai'i allows 1 6-year-olds to register to vote, so CNHA used the opportunity to promote the "1 6 for 201 6" component of its Vote-to-Rise campaign to hundreds of teens. The Office of Hawaiian Affairs has partnered with CNHA to increase voter turnout among Native Hawaiians. - Photo: Courtesy ofthe Council for flative Hawaiian Advancement
