On May 2, the Hawaii legislature adjourned, without having passed any election law bills this year. Several bills had passed each house of the legislature, but because the versions of the bills differed in each house, they were sent to conference committees. But none of the election law bills send to conference committee ever emerged from those committees.

Bills that had passed both houses of the legislature, but still died, included bills for vote by mail, election day registration, and public funding for candidates for the state legislature.

The legislature did pass a Resolution, SCR 135, calling on Congress to pass a constitutional amendment giving full voting rights to the District of Columbia. Here is the text.
