The Secretary of State of North Dakota has agreed to settle a federal voting rights lawsuit over the state’s voter ID law, brought by two Native American Tribes and several individual voters represented by Campaign Legal Center.
The ID law required voters to present identification listing their residential street address – a substantial hurdle for many Native Americans living on reservations, because the state has failed to assign residential street addresses to homes on tribal reservations. In a victory for CLC and our clients, the Secretary of State has agreed to enter into a binding agreement which will ensure that Native American voters who do not have or do not know their residential street address are able to vote.
