Obstacles at Every Turn: Voting Rights Report

Discover and learn about impacts and opportunities in the new report
by the Native American Rights Fund, Obstacles at Every Turn:
Barriers to Political Participation Faced by Native Americans
[link removed]

, which highlights barriers American Indian and Alaska Native
communities face in the voting process, from registration, to casting
votes, to ensuring votes are counted.

As we head into the 2020 election cycle, it is more important than
ever that our policymakers, our decision-makers, and Native people
understand the barriers, impacts, and history of voting in Indian
Country. The information and data from this report can help shine a
light on how to eradicate barriers to political participation and help
Native people reclaim power through participation.
