From what I’ve been reading in the newspapers, there was some trouble getting the redistricting software made available to the Redistricting Commission.
Today the County of Hawaii released the website to the new Redistricting Online Software for Hawaii County redistricting purposes. It seems fairly easy to use and I was able to understand it within a few minutes of reading the instructions. Here is a quick screenshot at what folks on the Redistricting Commission will be working with.

I’m not on the redistricting commission, however the link was sent to me and I’m not sure if it’s available to the general public.
I just sent an email off to the secretary of the Redistricting Commission asking if it was… and if it is… I’ll update this post with the link to the site.
*UPDATE*
The site is available for the general public:

Yes, it is available to the public! Thanks for helping spread the word Damon. The site is primarily for the State Reapportionment Commission but has been made available to the counties including Hawaii County.
Please help spread the word that persons submitting plans to the Hawaii County Redistricting Commission should follow the submission guidelines for the County. They should NOT USE the “Submit” button in the application since that sends their plan to the State Commission.
Plans for Hawaii Senate and Hawaii House should be sent to the State Commission using the “Submit” button.
