Aloha Fellow District 3 Democrats -
As Democrats Nationwide gather today to vote for their values, it feels appropriate to reach out to connect with Dems locally! I hope you can join us for a VIRTUAL District 3 meeting Tuesday, November 14, at 6 p.m. on Zoom. The purpose of this meeting is to reconnect and to fill vacancies on our District 3 Council as well as briefly go over updates on coming events (Party Fundraiser at the Eagles Club in Kea'au - Sat., Jan. 20th, 2024 and District Organizing meetings Wed., March 6th, 2024 - as well as our coming Presidential Primary and County and State Conventions).
The available vacancies to fill are seven “At-Large Director” positions. All members present at this meeting whose voter registration and Party enrollment are verified may participate and vote in these elections.
Proxy voting is not allowed. The top vote-getter wins. Any Democratic Party of Hawai`i Member living in District 3 who is present or who has submitted an in absentia form (contact me for an in absentia form) may be nominated as an At-Large Director. You may nominate yourself. No second is needed for nominations. If desired, each nominee will be given up to two minutes to speak.
When it is time to vote, verified participants will use the “Raise Hand” feature or raise their hand prominently enough to be seen onscreen to cast their vote. District Chair and Secretary will count the votes, and the Secretary will record the total votes cast. A coin toss will decide ties.
Please encourage your family, friends, and anyone in the district who wants to make a positive change for our community, to join us. If you need to update your voter file or party info, you can do so at the links below:

Your insight and engagement help guide the direction in which our local and state parties grow. Mahalo for your service to our Democratic Party of Hawaiʻi. If you have not received the Zoom link via HIDEMS, or have any questions about the coming election to fill vacancies or how to get more involved, please reach out to me at shann.matson@gmail.com,
Aloha,
Shannon Matson
District 3 Acting Chair
