الانتخابات

الاتحادية

Kauaʻi County has traditionally been a solid Democratic stronghold. The county has not voted Republican since the 1984 federal election, when it narrowly voted in favor of Ronald Reagan. In 2024, while it still voted majority Democratic, Kauaʻi County cast the highest percentage of its vote for the Republican candidate out of any county in the state, a record that has generally been held by Honolulu County. This was the first time since 1960 that the county held this distinction.[5] The island of Kauaʻi leans majority Democratic overall. The island of Ni'ihau, while it has a very small population, tends to vote almost entirely Republican, by far the strongest such leaning of all major Hawaiian islands.[6]
