Honolulu voters approved four city charter changes in the midterm election while rejecting four others, a mixed but generally reform-friendly outcome for local government.

• Voters created a new food security fund to back local farmers and shore up Oahu's food supply.
• Housing becomes an official city and county priority, with expanded funding for affordable housing.
• A new city office will focus on data, technology, and responsible AI use.
• Rejected measures include a proposed LGBTQI+ advisory commission, ranked choice voting for mayor and council races, changes to city property transaction rules, and letting green card holders serve on city boards.

Outlook: The approved measures take effect as part of Honolulu's charter, while the rejected proposals would need to return in a future election to be reconsidered.
