The Office of Hawaiian Affairs wants to help folks vote by matching their views to that of candidates.

The Find Your Match: 2014 Candidate Game seeks to get people engaged. Hawaii, as you may be aware, has a poor voter turnout rate.

The OHA game is easy, and anonymous.

The agency has collected answers to a range of questions from the candidates for governor, U.S. Senate, both U.S. House races and the two OHA trustee seats up Nov. 4.

Here, for example, is a question to the six OHA at-large candidates (the top three finishers will be elected trustees):

How will you manage OHA’s assets – such as its investment portfolio and landholdings, including commercial lands such as Kaka’ako Makai and legacy lands such as Waimea Valley and Wao Kele o Puna – to ensure maximum benefit for the agency’s beneficiaries?

Visitors to the website are then asked to select the the answers to the questions that they like more. Just for fun, I picked this answer:

At this point in time, I would have to say that OHA should have a strategic plan to ensure the highest/best use of land assets for not only consistant revenue/income flow, but also consider the preserving the cultural/traditional aspects of our Hawaiian nation for future generations.

That answer, the OHA game then informed me, comes from Lei Ahu Isa. (Candidate responses published on the site are not been edited, hence the misspelling of “consistent.”)

The Find Your Match project comes from OHA and Kanu Hawaii, an independent, nonpartisan Hawaii nonprofit.
