In 2017 and 2018, the Native American Voting Rights Coalition held hearings throughout Indian Country documenting barriers to the ballot box for Native Americans. In June 2020, the Native American Rights Fund issued a detailed report highlighting the obstacles faced by Native Americans in the voting process from registering to vote, to casting a ballot, to having that vote counted. This panel will discuss the recent report, and the additional barriers and considerations as a result of the coronavirus.

Panelists:

Jacqueline De León - Staff Attorney, Native American Rights Fund

James T. Tucker - Of Counsel, Wilson Elser

Patty Ferguson-Bohnee (Moderator) - Director of Indian Legal Clinic, Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University
