檀香山选民表决排序投票修正案：市长、市议员与检察官选举或改制
美国夏威夷州檀香山市县的檀香山市选民11月3日投票决定，是否在地方无党派选举中采用排序投票制度，适用职位包括市长、市议员与檀香山检察官。根据提案，选民将按偏好对候选人排序；若无人获得50%以上的选票，得票最少的候选人将被淘汰，其支持者的第二选择将重新分配，直至产生获胜者。
提案若通过，计划于2032年开始实施，旨在取代现行制度下候选人以不足半数选票即可在初选中胜出的做法。该提案由檀香山市议会提交选票，并非公民倡议，与市议会提交的其他修宪提案一并由选民表决。
反对者以夏威夷共和党为代表，认为排序投票会使选票复杂化并可能造成选民困惑；支持者则认为该制度可以增加竞争并加强代表性。选民在投票前应仔细阅读选票说明，了解排序方式与计票规则。

Honolulu Voters Weigh Ranked-Choice Voting Amendment for Mayor, Council and Prosecutor Races
Voters in the City and County of Honolulu, Hawaii, decided on November 3 whether to adopt ranked-choice voting for local nonpartisan offices, including mayor, City Council and the Honolulu prosecutor. Under the proposal, voters would rank candidates by preference; if no one clears 50%, the lowest-finishing candidate is eliminated and those voters' second choices are redistributed until a winner emerges.
If approved, the system would take effect in 2032, replacing the current setup in which a candidate can win a primary with well under half the vote. The Honolulu City Council referred the measure to the ballot; it is not a citizen initiative, and it appears alongside other council-referred charter amendments.
Opponents, led by the Hawaii Republican Party, argue ranked-choice voting complicates the ballot and risks confusing voters, while supporters say it increases competition and representation. Voters were urged to read the ballot instructions carefully to understand the ranking and tabulation rules.
