Hawaii will likely scrap the random drawing used to settle tied elections, a change lawmakers across both parties say is overdue.

• Two tied primary races in West Oahu were decided by pulling names from plastic eggs shaken in a box.
• Both losers were Republican incumbents, but lawmakers are treating the fix as a nonpartisan issue.
• It was the first time a tie had been broken this way in Hawaii since 1988.
• Proposed fixes include a short special election using existing mail-in ballots, or making primaries nonpartisan altogether.
• The deadline to formally contest the primary results is Monday, and no challenge has surfaced yet.

Outlook: Expect a bill to replace the random draw when lawmakers return next session.
