Kūpuna are the most important voting bloc in Hawai‘i and the nation. Older voters vote in greater numbers than other age groups and therefore help decide elections. Politicians know this and should know that they must pay attention to the issues that affect kūpuna if they want our vote.
At AARP Hawai`i, we want to make sure that everyone eligible to vote knows how to vote and that their vote will count.
A new printed and online directory of classes, programs, and online and technical support to help kūpuna use their devices to access the Internet is now available at Hawai`i public libraries, county aging offices and online at hiphi.org/kupuna-digital-inclusion-workgroup/.
