Hawaii Revised Statutes 124a-77 Number of Votes Required.

[§124A-77] Number of votes required. (a) No person may be convicted of an offense, except by the concurrence of two-thirds of the members present at the time that the vote is taken.

(b) All sentences shall be determined by the concurrence of two-thirds of the members present at the time that the vote is taken.

(c) All other questions to be decided by the members of a general or special court-martial shall be determined by a majority vote. A tie vote on a challenge disqualifies the member challenged. A tie vote on a motion for a finding of not guilty or on a motion relating to the question of the accused's sanity is a determination against the accused. A tie vote on any other question is a determination in favor of the accused. [L 1982, c 171, pt of §2]
