1900 Hawaii elections


The Hawaiian Organic Act integrated Hawaii as a territory of the United States and required the first territorial elections to be held on November 6, 1900.
The elections were for Delegate to Congress, territorial senators and territorial representatives. The Governor of Hawaii was a position appointed by the U.S. president, and county government would not be approved until 1905. Voters selected a delegate for the remaining 'unexpired' term of the 56th Congress and a delegate for the full term of the 57th Congress. Results are held by the Hawai'i State Archives.

Multi-Member Districts

Territorial senators and representatives were elected from multi-member districts according to the Hawaiian Organic Act as follows.
