Hawaiʻi current rank: #50 of 50 states (2024)
Compares Hawaiʻi’s rank history on this metric with Colorado.
Hawaiʻi has ranked near or at the bottom for four decades, holding #50 in every presidential election since 2004 except 2020, when it reached #47. All-mail voting, introduced in 2020, did lift turnout: Hawaiʻi gained 7.1 points between 2016 and 2024, more than twice the gain in most states. The rank barely moved because other states reformed over the same stretch.
