458 step up to
Neighborhood Boards

A lot of first-timers will take
office in June, though a commission
official regrets the low participation
among applicants and voters

Star-Bulletin staff

There were fewer voters and fewer candidates in this year's Neighborhood Board elections than there were two years ago.

The results were released officially today -- and 458 Oahu residents will take office June 1 as Neighborhood Board members.

Ben Kama, executive secretary of the Neighborhood Commission, said there were only 530 applicants for office this year, fewer than the 600 he had hoped for.

Two years ago, 630 candidates vied for board seats.

Voter turnout was also lower.

About 300,000 ballots were sent out. The city got back about 83,000, or 27 percent, of the ballots.

"We usually get about 30 percent," Kama said.

Despite the lower participation, Kama said, "I think we had a very good campaign."

Monies were allocated for publicity, and broadcast public service announcement spots were aired both on television and radio, he said.

"But we need to do more, we need to get people out to vote," Kama said.

Kama added that, while he hasn't yet sat down to look closely at the numbers, there are a lot of first-timers who got into office.

An installation ceremony for the board members takes place May 15 at Honolulu Hale. Neighborhood Commission Chairwoman Karen Iwamoto will administer the oath of office.
