KITV reports on new voter tool unveiled by Grassroot Institute of Hawaii

The Grassroot Institute of Hawaii recently unveiled a new website — HawaiiVotes.org — during a presentation at the State Capitol. The following is a clip about the new website too that appeared on from a KITV newscast that evening.

The online tool lets enables voters to track the actions of Hawaii’s state Legislature and individual legislators. It is a free website that provides concise, non-partisan, plain-English descriptions of every bill, amendment and vote in the Hawaii House and Senate. These are all sortable by legislator, issue category, keyword and more, allowing a citizen to quickly create a custom voting record guide for any legislator on any issue.

How did a state representative or senator vote on an issue or bill that you care about? What bills and amendments did each legislator sponsor? What legislation actually became law this year and what did not? What would all these bills actually do (vs. what their sponsors intend)? Which legislators have missed the most votes, and how many did yours miss?

The answers to all those questions and more are now at citizens’ fingertips 24 hours a day on HawaiiVotes.org.

HawaiiVotes.org is a free public service from the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii (GRIH), a nonpartisan, nonprofit research and educational institution.
