Spotlight Focus: 2024 General Election
As we approach the election, states nationwide are preparing for threats that could challenge the integrity of the electoral process. Additionally, we are seeing concerning activities from those who are looking to influence and confuse voters through Mis and Dis Information campaigns. The Office of Homeland Security and Hawai‘i State Fusion Center are actively working to identify and report threats, and address Mis-Dis-Mal Information during the election and after leading up to the Inauguration.
