Molokai is part of Maui County, which has elected officials: the [[Mayor]] who is elected to a 4 year term of service, and the County Council, which is made up of 9 members who each serve 2 year terms. Molokai's small Ho'olehua Airport has no direct flights from large commercial airlines or from the mainland.
