On June 25, a U.S. District Court in the U.S. Virgin Islands said it would not now rule on whether independent candidate Positive Nelson should be on the November 2018 ballot. Instead, Nelson must seek relief from the territorial court. The Virgin Islands elects its governor and lieutenant governor as a team. The ticket had been rejected because the Lieutenant Governor candidate, Gary Udhwani, may not have been a registered voter when the petition was submitted. Udhwani had been a registered voter in the past, and his name was apparently purged without telling him. Also he collected some of the signatures, and the Virgin Islands law does not allow unregistered individuals to circulate a petition (although that policy violates the U.S. Supreme Court decision American Constitutional Law Foundation v Buckley).
If the territorial court gives no relief, the U.S. District Court will then take action. Nelson v Fawkes, 1:18cv-17.
The North America Provincial Parliament (p-7), one of the twelve population-balanced Republic of Earth Parliaments, will likely set precedents in July 2018 for the first time. Some decisions can be viewed differently from Provincial and international levels.
