Native Hawaiian election canceled in wake of US Supreme Court injunction:

An election for Native Hawaiians has been canceled, officials from Na'i Aupuni announced Tuesday during a press conference...

...As part of the announcement, officials said Na'i Aupuni will still go forward with a four-week-long 'Aha in February. All 196 candidates will be offered a seat as a delegate to the 'Aha to learn about, discuss and ultimately reach a consensus on a process to achieve self-governance.
