Tripler Army Medical Center, Hawaii Public Records

The bond and bail process in Hawaii requires posting bail either through a bail bondsman or directly with the court, depending on the charges. Recently arrested individuals can be located through OCCC's inmate information services.

Hawaii also offers same-day voter registration during the early voting period and on Election Day at voter service centers. Residents must provide their Hawaii driver's license number or state ID number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number. Military personnel stationed at Tripler and their family members who are Hawaii residents can register and vote in Hawaii elections; those who maintain legal residence in other states should request absentee ballots from their home states through the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP). Since the medical center is located within unincorporated Honolulu rather than an independent municipality, there are no separate city-level elections specific to Tripler. Instead, residents vote in City and County of Honolulu elections, which include the Mayor of Honolulu and nine-member Honolulu City Council (elected by district). The next Honolulu municipal elections are scheduled for 2024 (primary in August, general in November). Hawaii uses a unique all-mail voting system: registered voters automatically receive mail-in ballots for every election, though in-person voter service centers are available during early voting and on Election Day. To find polling locations and voter service centers, residents can use the polling place lookup tool at elections.hawaii.gov or contact the Elections Division. Hawaii's election records that are publicly accessible include: voter registration lists (available for purchase by qualified requesters for political purposes under HRS §11-97), campaign spending reports through the Hawaii Campaign Spending Commission at ags.hawaii.gov/campaign, candidate filings and committee registrations, precinct-level election results at elections.hawaii.gov, and ballot measure texts. Individual voter history (whether someone voted, not how they voted) is available through public records requests. In the November 2024 general election, Honolulu County (Oahu) recorded approximately 450,000 registered voters with turnout of approximately 58-62% for the presidential election, consistent with Hawaii's historically moderate voter participation rates. On November 3, 2026, voters in the Tripler/Honolulu area will decide several important races: the Hawaii gubernatorial election (Governor Josh Green's potential re-election), all Hawaii State House of Representatives seats (51 districts, two-year terms), half of the Hawaii State Senate seats (13 of 25 districts, four-year staggered terms), Honolulu City Council seats in applicable districts, and various state and county ballot measures. There is no U.S. Senate race in Hawaii in 2026, as Senator Brian Schatz is not up for re-election until 2028 and Senator Mazie Hirono until 2030. Hawaii's 2nd Congressional District seat (which includes most of Oahu outside urban Honolulu) will be contested. To receive an absentee/mail-in ballot in Hawaii, all registered voters are automatically sent ballots before each election; ballots typically mail 18 days before Election Day. Military and overseas voters can request ballots through the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) and receive ballots electronically through the state's OVF (Online Voter Facilitation) system at hawaii.olvr.com. Completed ballots must be received by 7:00 PM on Election Day, not just postmarked, so early mailing is critical. Voter service centers across Oahu, including locations in the Moanalua area, accept hand-delivered ballots and offer in-person voting during the two-week early voting period and on Election Day from 7 AM to 7 PM.
