Following World War I, Congress passed the Indian Citizenship Act, 1924 which gave them citizenship including the right to vote. Many western states, however, refused to allow them to vote and used tactics like poll taxes, reading requirements, and even hiding the polling places, to prevent them from voting. In 1947, Miguel Truillo, a Native American, sued New Mexico for not allowing him to vote. He won the case and Arizona and New Mexico were required to allow all Native Americans to vote. Following that case, western states granted Native Americans the right to vote.
