(September 2021)Executive authority is vested in the mayor of Hawaii County, who is elected for a four-year term. Since 2004, the election by the voters has been on a nonpartisan basis. In 2020, Mitch Roth was elected mayor, succeeding Harry Kim, who lost reelection after being defeated in the primary election.[5] Legislative authority is vested in a nine-member County Council. Members of the County Council are elected on a nonpartisan basis to two-year terms from single-member districts.[6] As of December 2016, Hawaii County Council has a female supermajority for the first time, with six women and three men.[7]Administrative districts were originally based on the traditional land divisions called Moku of Ancient Hawaii. Some more heavily populated districts have since been split into North and South districts to make them more comparable on a population basis.The number following each district is the Tax Map Key (TMK) number, used to locate state property information. They are assigned in a counter-clockwise order beginning on the eastern side of the island.[8]Nr.DistrictAreami2Population2000mokuMap1Puna499.4531,335Puna2South Hilo394.3847,386Hilo3North Hilo370.651,720Hilo4H\u0101m\u0101kua580.506,108H\u0101m\u0101kua5North Kohala132.926,038Kohala6South Kohala351.7213,131Kohala7North Kona489.0128,543Kona8South Kona335.388,589Kona9Ka\u02bb\u016b922.225,827Ka\u02bb\u016b\u00a0Hawai\u02bbi County4028.02148,6776 mokuCounty council districts do not directly match the property tax districts because of the variation in the population density of voters in urban areas to rural areas; Hilo & Kailua (Kailua-Kona) towns are densely populated areas, while other districts such as Ka\u02bb\u016b, Puna, H\u0101m\u0101kua, and North & South Kohala are more sparsely populated.[9]Several government functions are administered at the county level that are at the state or municipal level in other states.
