Cherokees promote voter awareness



 

TAHLEQUAH — The Cherokee Nation’s Government Relations Program is encouraging citizens to vote.

The tribe’s Get out the Vote campaign has included providing a red ‘Cherokee Vote Counts’ T-shirt to employees and passing out voter awareness bracelets and stress balls at various parades and football games in the tribe’s jurisdictional area.

The Cherokee Nation has created an Oklahoma voter’s guide.

A questionnaire was sent to each candidate in northeastern Oklahoma who is running for State Senate, State House, U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives. The results were compiled into a voter’s guide that focuses on how candidates responded to issues of interest to Cherokees and other Oklahomans.

The guide is available at www.cherokee.org.

For those who have not yet registered to vote, the deadline for doing so is Friday.

Information: 453-5675.
