; and (D) voter identification laws that discriminate against Native Americans. (9) The Department of Justice and courts have also recognized that some jurisdictions have been unresponsive to reasonable requests from federally recognized Indian Tribes for more accessible voter registration sites and in-person voting locations. (10) According to the National Congress of American Indians, there is a wide gap between the voter registration and turnout rates of eligible American Indians and Alaska Natives, and the voter registration and turnout rates of non-Hispanic White and other racial and ethnic groups. (11) Despite these obstacles, the Native American vote continues to play a significant role in national, State, and local elections. (12) In Alaska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and South Dakota, Native Americans comprise approximately 10 percent or more of the voting population. (13) The Native American vote also holds great potential, with over 1,000,000 voters who are eligible to vote, but are not registered to vote. (b) Purposes The purposes of this Act are— (1) to fulfill the Federal Government’s trust responsibility to protect and promote Native Americans’ exercise of their constitutionally guaranteed right to vote, including the right to register to vote and the ability to access all mechanisms for voting; (2) to establish preclearance procedures for a specific subset of State actions that have been used to restrict access to the polls on Indian lands; (3) to expand voter registration under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 ( 52 U.S.C. 20506 et seq.) to cover all Federal facilities, at the request of the Indian tribe; (4) to afford equal treatment to forms of identification unique to Indian Tribes and their members; (5) to clarify the obligations of States and political subdivisions regarding the provision of translated voting materials for American Indians and Alaska Natives under section 203 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 ( 52 U.S.C. 10503 )
