We are currently in the midst of a global and national pandemic and COVID-19 has drastically altered the American way of life. As our nation prepares for a presidential election, we must ensure that voting rights are not left behind as we navigate a much changed electoral process and landscape.

Please join a critical discussion of voting rights in Indian Country and how States are preparing for an election that allows for social distancing and an exponential growth in mail-in balloting, as well as how these scenarios will be played out in other states, localities, municipalities, and Native nations around the United States.
