Voters in the City Council 5th District will have at least six forums where they'll be able to learn more about the 14 candidates vying for the special election seat, beginning with two today.

One of the forums, produced by The Advertiser, will be televised live July 22 on Oceanic Cable Channel 49. Two others can be heard over the radio.

Meanwhile, tomorrow is the last day for people in the district who are not registered to send in their applications in order to vote in the election. The district includes Manoa, Makiki, McCully-Mo'ili'ili, Kapahulu, part of Kaimuki, and Palolo.

The forums scheduled:

  • Today, 8 to 9:30 a.m., KIPO 89.3 FM, sponsored by Hawaii Public Radio.

  • Today, 6 to 9 p.m., Ala Wai Golf Course Clubhouse, second floor, sponsored by seven area neighborhood boards; public invited.

  • July 13, 7 p.m., Hokulani Elementary School cafeteria, sponsored by the St. Louis Heights Community Association; public invited.

  • July 15, 6 to 9 p.m., Washington Intermediate School cafeteria, sponsored by seven area neighborhood boards; public invited.

  • July 22, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., live on Oceanic Cable channel 49, also to be streamed live at www.honoluluadvertiser.com, and rebroadcast several times on 'Olelo before the election, sponsored by The Advertiser with technical and organizational support from 'Olelo.

  • July 23, 4 to 6 p.m., Mike Buck Show, KHVH 830 AM, sponsored by Clear Channel Communications.

    Ballots for the all-mail election will be mailed out July 17.

    The last day for ballots to be received at City Hall is Aug. 7. Ballots will be counted that evening.

    The special election is to fill the roughly 3 1/2 years left on the term of Councilman Duke Bainum, who died suddenly on July 9 from complications of an aortic aneurysm.
