The adoption election on June 13 did not meet the 50-percent voter turnout requirement, so the results are void. In- cluding this recent vote, the last three adoption elec- tions have failed for lack of voter participation. The cost of the elec- tion is about $20,000, said Arlita Rhoan, Elec- tion board member. For this and other reasons, she said, the decision about setting a re-vote is a serious one. As three adoption elections have failed, Tribal Councilman Raymond Tsumpti said the tribes should consider conducting a secretarial election regarding the adoption candidates. The secretarial process, con- ducted by the BIA, has no minimum voter turn- out requirement. Had the recent elec- tion been secretarial, the candidates would have been adopted into the tribe, Councilman Tsumpti said. The membership should be consulted as to whether they would like to see the secretarial election approach to adoption can- didates, he said. A review of the re- sults shows that all of the candidates received more positive votes than negative—often by a large margin of three- or four-to-one in favor. A total of 987 people cast ballots in the adop- tion election. A figure in the range of 1,500 would have been required for a valid vote. Meanwhile, the tribes could decide to change the membership baseline census role from 1960 to 1980. This would result in the automatic enroll- ment of about 60 of the candidates who were on the recent election list. A proposal to update the baseline role could be sent to referendum, de- pending on the decision of the Tribal Council.
