The\u00a0Indian Legal Clinic student attorneys, ILP affiliates and volunteers worked on the Arizona Native Vote Election Protection Project (AZNVEP) for months to prepare for the general election on Nov. 3. The number of this year\u2019s Election Protection volunteers made for a great success despite the circumstances! We had 100 volunteers, which is more than in past years, who assisted Native voters at over 60 polling locations in Arizona on Election Day through the Arizona Native Vote Election Protection Project. The ILC team included\u00a0Native Vote Fellow Torey Dolan<\/b>\u00a0(\u201919) as lead,\u00a0Brendan Clark\u00a0<\/b>(3L),\u00a0Aspen Miller<\/b>\u00a0(3L),\u00a0Dustin Rector<\/b>\u00a0(3L),\u00a0MacArthur Stant\u00a0<\/b>(3L),and\u00a0Blair Tarman<\/b>\u00a0(3L) under the supervision of\u00a0Professor Patty Ferguson-Bohnee<\/b>. Student attorneys provided virtual training sessions for volunteers, ran the hotline and interacted with voters on-site.

Through partnerships with the Inter Tribal Council of Arizona (ITCA), the Native American Bar Association of Arizona (NABA-AZ), the Arizona Election Protection Coalition and volunteers, Native Vote served as an important resource for hundreds of Native voters during the 2020 election. Over 250 Native American voters called the Native Vote Election Protection hotline for assistance on Election Day, and many voters called prior to the election to check voter registration and polling locations, and answered questions regarding general election information. \u00a0

With the extraordinary commitment from volunteers\u2014ILP students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends\u2014an Election Protection volunteer was on-site and available at the following locations: Navajo Nation, Hopi Tribe, Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community, Gila River Indian Community, Tohono O’odham Nation, White Mountain Apache, San Carlos Apache, Pascua Yaqui, Yavapai Apache, Yavapai Prescott, Quechan, Cocopah Indian Tribe, Colorado River Indian Tribes, Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, and the Ak-Chin Indian Community.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We thank our ASU community for the support, which released the\u00a0ASU Now\u00a0article<\/a>\u00a0<\/b>on election day that highlighted the greater work of Native Vote as well as the innovative\u00a0Polling Locator Tool<\/a><\/b>\u00a0created just this year with US Digital Response. Watch the\u00a0video<\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0to see how this tool was used by Native voters.

Two of our ILC students Miller and Stant who traveled to Hopi and Navajo Nation were highlighted in an\u00a0Arizona Republic\u00a0article<\/a><\/b>.\u00a0

Ferguson-Bohnee was quoted in the\u00a0Center for Public Integrity\u00a0article<\/a><\/b>\u00a0and Arizona Republic articles\u00a0here<\/a><\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0here<\/a><\/b>.\u00a0

On Nov. 11, Dolan was interviewed by Native America Calling to give a recap about Native Vote. She was also quoted in The State Press articles\u00a0here<\/a><\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0here<\/a><\/b>.\u00a0

Find more coverage from Ferguson-Bohnee, Dolan and\u00a0Brian Garcia<\/b>\u00a0(\u201920) in this VICE\u00a0article<\/a><\/b>, which included Arizona Native Vote assisting with extension hours to a polling site.\u00a0

We appreciate our partners and all who volunteered across Indian Country to ensure Arizona\u2019s tribal communities and tribal members had access to the polls!<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
