Elections Process
The election process is designed to ensure every one of the 21 communities that make up Tlingit & Haida can make their voices heard. When communities elect their respective delegates, those delegates will attend Tribal Assembly and vote for the Tlingit & Haida President, Executive Council Officers, and the Tribal Court Chief Justice and Judges.
Each community elects one delegate for every 200 enrolled tribal citizens in that community. Tribal citizens who live more than 100 miles away from a registered community are able to select the voting community of their choice; tribal citizens who live within 100 miles are automatically assigned. Tribal citizens must be 18 or older to be nominated and/or vote in their community’s election of delegates. Elections are held every even-numbered year in the spring.
