Why don't Hawaii, part of Indiana and most of Arizona have daylight savings time?

Question

Why only in these areas?

Answer 1

They chose not to have it. It's really that simple.

Answer 2

"Daylight-saving time began in 1918 during World War I as a way to save fuel by reducing the need for lights in the evening. It continued in 1919 but was dropped after protests demanded it be abandoned in peacetime.

The practice was revived during World War II. After the war some states and localities kept up the practice, but there was no national standard until 1966, when the current system was adopted by Congress. Hawaii opted out in 1967, when the law took effect." http://starbulletin.com/2005/08/01/news/story8.html

"Daylight Saving Time, for the U.S. and its territories, is NOT observed in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the state of Arizona (not the Navajo Indian Reservation, which does observe). Navajo Nation participates in the Daylight Saving Time policy, due to its large size and location in three states." http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/rules/usa.htm

"Any reference to Alaska-Hawaii standard time in any law, regulation, map, document, record, or other paper of the United States shall be held and considered to be a reference to Hawaii-Aleutian standard time." http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/usc.html

Hope this helps.
