Secretarial Election on the Horizon

The decision to adopt a three-branch government will soon be in the hands of Sault Tribe members by voting “yes” or “no” in a federally administered secretarial election.

Previously, the goal for the election was for it to take place by late September. However, due to the magnitude of constitutional changes providing the framework for what will essentially be a new Sault Tribe Constitution, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, under federal regulations, has up to 180 days to complete the election. This may result in the election taking place later this year.

As such, the Secretarial Election Board will be meeting to adjust the election timeline and will soon be issuing a notice on when Sault Tribe members may expect to cast their votes.

In the meantime, to ensure ballots and election information are received, tribal citizens are encouraged to verify their mailing address is up to date with Tribal Enrollment.
