Officials heard positive feedback from k\u016bpuna voters since the 2022 launch of the ballot tracking service and want to see the number of users grow.<br \/>\u201cThe simple ballot tracking tool can help address several concerns shared by both voters and election administrators,&#8221; said Hawai\u2018i Chief Election Officer Scott Nago in a state release about the service. &#8220;It provides transparency and peace of mind for voters to know where their ballot is and helps reduce the number of voters who miss deadlines.\u201d<br \/>He and the state elections staff are hopeful the election alerts also will help alleviate long lines at voter service centers by encouraging residents to vote before Election Day.<br \/>Visit the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/elections.hawaii.gov\"
