Two Republican primary races on West Oahu ended in exact ties after invalid ballots were fixed, and coin flips will now decide who advances.

• State Senator Kurt Fevella and challenger Bob McDermott are dead even, each with 1,212 votes, after starting 7 apart.
• The Makakilo–Kapolei House race is also tied, with Sue Keohokapu-Lee Loy and her challenger each at 842 votes, erasing an earlier one-vote lead.
• Both ties came after election officials corrected a batch of invalid ballots that had triggered automatic recounts.
• A random draw at the State Capitol will decide each winner.

Outlook: The coin-flip winners face the general election, where the House victor runs unopposed and effectively wins the seat outright.
