Our Wins
Limiting Big Money's Influence in Hawaii
In 2023, after a hard-fought campaign by Common Cause Hawaii and our partners, the legislature passed and the governor signed new legislation to improve our state’s campaign finance system. This package of reforms includes stronger lobbying disclosure laws, limits on cash gifts to campaigns, and the creation of a digital voter information guide. We will continue to push for more transparency in Hawaii.
Mobilizing Election Protection Volunteers
Each election year, Common Cause Hawaii mobilizes nonpartisan volunteers across the state to serve as a first line of defense for voters. These volunteers answer voters’ questions at their polling places, make sure that voters know their rights, and report any attempts to intimidate or obstruct voters. This program has helped countless Hawaii residents make themselves heard at the ballot box.
