Obstacles Persist: According to the Data

Native Americans continue to experience significant, compounding barriers to voting at every step of the election process, from registration to ballot counting, according to Obstacles Persist: According to the Data, a new report from the Native American Rights Fund (NARF) that analyzes data collected by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission from 2020, 2022, and 2024. The numbers illustrate a voting process that is starkly different than what most Americans experience, resulting in higher rejections of voter registrations and ballots cast, and more voters removed from statewide rolls. This comes amid a raft of political efforts this year to restrict voting across the board. At the same time, the systematic dismantling of the Voting Rights Act has effectively removed the main tool voters have to challenge discriminatory practices.
