Episode Details

Alaska’s Native communities are launching a bold grassroots campaign to revive voter turnout, aiming to reclaim the political power they once wielded with 66% turnout in 1982—now down to just 30%. Facing hurdles like summer fishing schedules, remote polling access, and high ballot rejection rates, the “Get Out the Native Vote” initiative is building voter education from the ground up, partnering with tribes and local groups to ensure every voice is heard—even adjusting major events to make voting easier. With a vetoed bill blocking key reforms, they’re rolling up their sleeves to turn the tide and restore Native political influence one ballot at a time.
