Fewer voters opting to vote early for general election

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Despite the high stakes in this year's presidential election, fewer people are voting early in the islands.

So far, the number of early walk-in voters on Oahu has reached over 10,800.

That's about 2,000 fewer walk-in voters compared to this same time in 2012, when President Barack Obama was up for re-election.

Meanwhile, some 64,0000 mail-in ballots are being counted.

Early voting runs through Saturday.
