2022 is another year that has seen Arizona Native voters and their rights disproportionally challenged on the ballot. \u201cNative advocates say voter ID rules in Proposition 309 could disenfranchise Arizona Indigenous voters,\u201d said Native Vote fellow Torey Dolan <\/strong>(\u201919) in her interview with the AZ Central. The article<\/a> discusses the impact that Proposition 309 will have on Tribal communities if passed. Proposition 309 would limit the forms of identification that are acceptable for in-person voting and would eliminate many forms of Tribal identification that voters currently rely on.<\/p>\n\n

Despite this ballot measure and redistricting issues, the Indian Legal Clinic\u2019s Native Vote Election Protection team organized and strategized with its partners to remain steadfast leading up to Election Day. Dolan presented at the Tribal leaders meeting hosted by the Inter Tribal Council of Arizona and discussed the propositions\u2019 impacts on Tribal communities and Native voters.<\/p>\n\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

On Election Day, the Native Vote team worked with the Navajo Nation to assist in emergency litigation due to delays in the opening of a polling location in Many Farms, Arizona. Katherine Belzowski, an attorney with the Navajo Nation Department of Justice Economic and Community Development Unit, said \u201cThe Indian Legal Clinic was instrumental to the Navajo Nation\u2019s success in the 2022 Election. ILC worked with the Navajo Department of Justice (NDOJ) to monitor state polling locations across the Nation. With ILC\u2019s assistance NDOJ was able to timely investigate and respond every concern submitted to the ILC and NDOJ voting hotline.\u201d <\/p>\n

Thank you to all volunteers, advocates and allies for serving as Election Protectors and organizing the Native Vote power! With your help, we were able to assist voters through the hotline and in the field, ensuring that Native voters were able to cast ballots free from intimidation and without undue challenges. This year\u2019s ILC Native Vote leadership team includes dedicated ILP <\/strong>Native Vote Fellows<\/strong> Torey Dolan<\/strong> (\u201919) and Blair Tarman-Toner<\/strong> (\u201920), student attorney leads Mallory Moore<\/strong> (3L) and Autumn Shone<\/strong> (3L), and student attorneys Chad Edwards<\/strong> (3L), Brittany Habbart<\/strong> (3L), Michael LaValley<\/strong> (3L), and Ruben Zendejas<\/strong> (3L), under the supervision of Professor Patty Ferguson-Bohnee<\/strong>.<\/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\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":"
