The question: Shall the Constitution of the State of Hawaii be amended to allow the Senate more time to consider and act on the appointments of justices and judges, by increasing the timeframe from thirty days to sixty days for appointments made between April 1 and December 31 when the senate is not in regular session or is about to adjourn the regular session?
- A yes vote
- A “yes” vote would extend from thirty days to sixty days the time allowed for the Senate to consider judicial appointments made between April 1 and December 31.
- A no vote
- A “no” vote would make no change to the Hawaii State Constitution and leave in place the requirement that the Senate consider a judicial appointment within thirty days or be deemed to have consented to the appointment.
