Fort Peck Tribes plan to sue for voter suppression due to lack of satellite election offices in Montana.
The Fort Peck Tribes in Montana plan to sue Roosevelt and Valley counties for voter suppression, citing the lack of satellite election offices that would improve access for tribal members.

Despite a 2015 directive encouraging collaboration with tribal governments, counties have not conducted necessary analyses to assess satellite office needs. Advocates argue this issue impedes Indigenous voting rights.
