A study of access to polls during elections has found that systemic barriers to voting on tribal lands contribute to substantial disparities in turnout.
A new study has found that systemic barriers to voting on tribal lands contribute to substantial disparities in Native American turnout, particularly for presidential elections. Earlier studies have shown voter turnout for communities of color is higher in areas where their ethnic group is the majority, but the latest research found that turnout was the lowest on tribal lands that have a high concentration of Native Americans, the Brennan Center for Justice said.
Native American communities are often overlooked when it comes to polling data, and sometimes studies that do include them don't reflect broader trends for Indigenous voters, said Stephanie Fryberg, director of the Research for Indigenous Social Action & Equity Center, which studies systemic inequalities faced by Indigenous people.
