Hawaii Lt. Governor Wants a Secretary of State
Last Updated on Wednesday, 6 October 2010 10:33 Written by rslcpol Wednesday, 6 January 2010 12:48
From honoluluadvertiser.com:
Lt. Gov. James “Duke” Aiona yesterday said he wants state lawmakers to put a constitutional amendment on the November ballot to establish a nonpartisan, elected secretary of state to administer elections.
Aiona would eliminate the state’s chief elections officer and repeal the powers of the state Elections Commission, giving the elected secretary of state the authority to oversee the state Office of Elections.
Most states have elected or appointed secretaries of state to handle a variety of administrative tasks, while lieutenant governors perform some of those functions in Hawai’i, Alaska and Utah.
