The event was originally planned for September 2017 but preparations were delayed by Cyclone Pam.[1][2]
Both rounds of voting took place on the 4 September 2011 with Nauru eliminated after the first round. In the final round, Vanuatu edged Northern Mariana Islands by 4 votes to earn hosting rights.[3]

^b Table tennis to include four parasport events: men's/women's singles – seated; and men's/women's singles – ambulatory.[27]
gollark: I mean, if the jobs are all bad somehow, yes?
gollark: Personally I'd support some form of UBI, assuming this would not horribly inflation.
gollark: Troubling.
gollark: I did NOT espouse anarchocapitalism.
gollark: You don't in the modern system. Lots of places have… extant unemployment benefits.
