Hawaii’s Jewish voters will be allowed to cast absentee ballots in the State’s primary elections which will be held on September 20, Yom Kippur. Lt. Gov. Jean King said in a letter to the Hawaii Jewish Welfare Fund that she and her staff are now working on a plan for the absentee voting, the Hawaii Jewish News reported. King said the problem was brought to her attention by Barbara Fischlowitz. She said her office is drafting a special announcement which will outline the procedures to be followed by those seeking absentee ballots.
