The right to vote for Native Americans in the United States was granted at different times by different states. Some states allowed Native Americans to vote as early as the 1880s, but many others excluded them until the mid-20th century. The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 granted U.S. citizenship to Native Americans, but many states found ways to keep them from voting until the 1950s and 1960s, when legal challenges and civil rights movements forced changes. By 1965, the Voting Rights Act aimed to eliminate barriers that prevented Native Americans from exercising their voting rights.
