A referendum on the Amendment 1 to the Constitution of Hawaii was held on 5 November 2024. The amendment repealed the Hawaii's legislature's ability to limit marriage to heterosexual couples,[2] reversing the 1998 Hawaii Amendment 2.[3] The voters backed the measure by 55.9%[4] of the valid votes; it succeeded in all four of Hawaii's major counties. The amendment passed simultaneously with similar ones in California and Colorado.[5][6]
