WHAT: On Monday, September 28, 2020 at 6 p.m. MST/PDT (7 p.m. MDT), voting rights experts and advocates from All Voting is Local Arizona, Arizona State University’s Indian Legal Clinic, Election Protection Arizona, and the Inter Tribal Council of Arizona will host a nonpartisan virtual town hall to contact thousands of Arizonans that identify as Native American and/or are living on Tribal land, to answer their questions about voting.
Native Americans have long faced discriminatory barriers to the ballot. This year, COVID-19 concerns, limited access to voting by mail, and restrictions in voter registration processes have exacerbated those burdens. The virtual town hall aims to clarify confusing voting processes and encourage participation in the upcoming election.
