Response: REVISED. Due to the adoption of new Hawaii Administrative Rules, Chapter 3-162 on March 8, 2010, candidates may now use public funds to pay their filing fee. The candidate can pay the $250 filing fee with personal funds or comprehensive public funds, but not seed money. Seed money must be used solely to determine a candidate’s viability. A candidate has already made a decision to run by the time nomination papers are filed.
