- 1. Civil Beat Poll Representative Sample of 843 Registered Voters Statewide Margin of Error +/- 3.4% Fielded, November 27 – 29, 2017 Another issue is a system of citizen initiatives, binding referendums, and recalls. These allow residents to make changes to laws and government through direct vote, rather than having to go through the legislature. Currently, about half the states in the U.S. have citizens' initiatives, referendums, or recalls that allow their residents to make direct changes. What do you think – should Hawaii enact a system of citizen's initiatives, binding referendums, and recalls, or not? Or does it not matter to you much either way? 1 Support 60% Oppose 18% Does not matter 8% Unsure 15% Total 100% DEMOGRAPHIC CROSSTABS Gender Male Female Support 64% 56% Oppose 18% 17% Does not matter 6% 10% Unsure 12% 17% 100% 100% Age_Grp Under 50 50 or older Support 58% 61% Oppose 21% 17% Does not matter 6% 9% Unsure 16% 13% 100% 100% Ethnicity Caucasian Japanese Filipino Hawaiian Chinese Hispanic Other/Mixed Support 68% 49% 51% 65% 52% 90% 65% Oppose 16% 28% 10% 14% 12% 10% 16% Does not matter 6% 10% 7% 11% 18% 8% Unsure 11% 14% 33% 10% 19% 11% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100%

Calls were made from November 27 - 29, 2017, using interactive voice response technology (touch-tone polling). Cell phones were contacted by live call-agents who asked respondents whether they were willing to participate in a recorded survey. Respondents who gave consent were patched through to the same recorded survey that was sent to landlines. Results were balanced for gender, age, race/ethnicity, county of residence, and education level. The margin of error for the full sample is +/- 3.4 percentage points. Other sources of error, such as imperfect response rates, are also common in public opinion research and may affect the results. The margin of error for any crosstabulated result is larger than the margin of error of the corresponding topline result. The poll was conducted by Civil Beat working with Merriman River Group, a full-service consulting organization specializing in opinion research, election management, and communications.
