In 1924 American Indian world war I veterans came home to find that they still were not able to vote . To rectify that the Indian Citizen Act was passed giving the Indian that right. However, many of the states still denied the American Indian this basic right. Arizona did not allow Indians to vote until they could read and write the US Constitution without any help until the US government forced them to repeal that state law in 1965.
Maine would not allow Indians to vote until 1954 in federal elections and not until 1967 were they allow to vote in state elections.
Utah held out until 1957 and New Mexico did not allow the Indian to vote until 1962. These states were not the only ones who defied federal law and did not allow the Indian the vote.
