Bill overview
The Frank Harrison, Elizabeth Peratrovich, and Miguel Trujillo Native American Voting Rights Act of 2021 aims to protect and expand voting rights for Native American and Alaska Native voters. The bill addresses historical barriers to voting, such as discriminatory laws and lack of accessible polling locations, by establishing a grant program for Native American voting task forces. It also seeks to improve voter registration, expand early voting options, clarify identification requirements, and ensure language assistance for tribal members. Furthermore, the bill directs the GAO to study address issues and the Department of Justice to consult with tribes on voting matters.
