For centuries, the United States denied Native Americans full and equal participation in federal elections. Reflecting this history, Native voter turnout consistently lags that of other groups. This report uses millions of voter records from 2012 to 2022 to document growing disparities in voter participation between people who live on Native American tribal lands and those who do not.

In the 2024 election cycle, voters nationwide had to contend with the threat of being unjustly removed from the voter rolls, stricter ID requirements to cast their ballots, and long lines on Election Day. Native American voters, however, felt the strain of voter suppression uniquely.

John Lewis stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and pointed to a “renewed struggle for voting rights.” A decade later, nearly 100 laws making voting more difficult have been enacted in 29 states, and the racial turnout gap between levels of white and nonwhite voting rates reached a modern high. This disturbing trend signals the continued saliency of the civil rights leader’s words.

Unfortunately, our research shows that for more than a decade, this trend has been reversing.
