Native American Voters Hold Key Influence in Arizona's Tight Election Races

Despite facing significant voting obstacles, Native American communities in Arizona could sway the outcome of the upcoming elections.

Native American voters, who make up 5.2% of Arizona's population, played a crucial role in the 2020 election by helping swing the state Democratic.
Both Democratic and Republican candidates are actively courting Native voters in Arizona, recognizing their potential to influence the election outcome.
Logistical challenges, including long travel distances to polling stations and lack of residential addresses, continue to hinder Native American voter turnout.
Frustration with unmet promises and economic struggles are leading some Native voters to reconsider their traditional party loyalties.
Efforts to mobilize Native voters include grassroots campaigns to register voters and provide voting information in native languages.
