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, 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.
