New system makes voting more accessible to tribal communities

In the Mountain West battleground state of Nevada, the first votes of the 2024 general election have already been cast. Earlier this month, tribal members living in the state’s 28 tribal communities gained access to the state’s digital absentee voting system. It’s part of an effort to improve access to the ballot for indigenous voters across the state.

KNPR’s Paul Boger reports for the Mountain West News Bureau.
