voting rights

The House recently passed legislation to require people to prove they are U.S. citizens when they register to vote. Native American groups, however, argue the proposal, if signed into law, would make it difficult for tribal members.

Roughly 1 in 4 Native Americans are not registered to vote, according to the Native American Rights Fund, which analyzed Census Bureau data. In recent years, however, three Mountain West states have passed laws to allow tribes to register them automatically.

Nevada tribes are suing Elko County officials, claiming unequal voting access for the 2022 election.
