Native Vote 2026. On January 9, 2026, three Native American organizations—National Congress of American Indians, Alaska Federation of Natives, and Native Vote Washington—filed an amicus brief at the U.S. Supreme Court in the case, Watson v. Republican National Committee, which addresses state deadlines for ballots received after Election Day. At issue in the case is a bipartisan Mississippi law, which allows absentee ballots that are mailed by Election Day and received by the registrar within five business days after Election Day. In Watson, the RNC argues that federal law requires all ballots must be in custody of state officials by the end of Election Day. If the Court were to adopt this reasoning it would overturn state laws that allow for the acceptance of ballots received after Election Days.
