The election for Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians has been delayed a second time.
The tribe held a primary on April 12. But a challenge to the results delayed the general election, which was scheduled for May 24.
The new date of the general election was October 24. But new allegations against some candidates prompted the tribe's election board to call a hearing.
