Proclamation of the Republic of Hawaii, 1894

The American Union Party won every seat in the 1894 elections due to royalist boycotts.

Royalists boycotted the republic and refused to take the oath of allegiance, resulting in the American Union Party winning every seat. The constitution restricted voting to natural-born or naturalized citizens, creating a Native Hawaiian majority voting block.
