Native Voices, Native Vote: Protecting Native Voting Rights at the Native American Rights Fund

The Native vote is powerful. Native Americans are poised to sway local, state, and federal elections. Native voters make up key voting blocks in states like Arizona, Alaska, Nevada, Montana, Michigan, and Wisconsin, to name a few.
The Native American Rights Fund (NARF) is committed to making Native voices heard. Across America, it is altogether too hard for Native Americans to vote. They often must go off-reservation and travel outrageous distances to reach voting services. Many do not have home addresses or mail delivery, making registering and receiving a ballot difficult, if not impossible. Native Americans still face racial discrimination and hostilities when casting their ballots. NARF, in collaboration with Native American advocates across the country, have extensively documented these barriers and are fighting every day against this discrimination.
The obstacles faced by Native voters are unreasonable and unfair and rob them of this political power. The fundamental promise of American democracy is that everyone can participate and effectuate change. We must honor that promise. Democracy is a Native American concept. Join us in the fight to protect it.
