![["The voting age for tribal elections has been lowered to 18 to comply with the 26th amendment to the United States Constitution.

The amendments also allow for absentee ballots to be executed without the presence of two adults to certify the procedures. These changes aim to make it easier for off-reservation Indians to participate in tribal elections."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_1_26_16_0000-Interior%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs.%20Information,%201973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_1_26_16_0020_thumbnail.jpg "Concerns of the Oklahoma Indian Affairs Commission Regarding Senate Bill 1017")
