A New Brennan Center study on voter participation on tribal lands highlights the impact of systemic inequities on turnout. Key findings include:
- “Voter participation in federal elections from 2012 to 2022 averaged 11 percentage points less on tribal lands than in other parts of the states we studied.”
- “Turnout is lowest on tribal lands with the greatest share of Native voters.”
- “Barriers to mail and early voting on tribal lands contribute to disparities in the use of these voting options.”
