Most Cherokees are At Large Citizens
The map to the left posted on the CNO website for public download shows where Cherokee citizens live by State as of 2024 data. In the last general election, about 25,000 or so citizens voted.
Two observations are apparent. One - most Cherokee citizens do not vote. Two - most Cherokee citizens do not live in the Cherokee Nation.
This website works to empower at large Cherokee Citizens. To do so, we must vote at large.
The at large citizen of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma is Tsalagi! We want the same things as a citizen who lives in the Nation, cultural and language preservation, access to health care, elder care and respect, and these are only a few.
Additionally, at large citizens of the Cherokee Nation Oklahoma who reside outside the Nation have additional and unique citizenship rights. The at large citizen waits for our elected representatives to determine those rights and must be prepared to vote at large in support or against those proposals.
Our Commitment
Vote At Large is an independent Cherokee Civic Action Group owned and operated by its volunteer members dedicated to ensuring that Cherokee Nation citizens have the opportunity to register and participate in elections. Our members believe in empowering citizens to take action and make their voices heard at the polls. Our goal is to inspire and mobilize Cherokee Nation citizens living off the reservation to vote, ensuring that their voices contribute to the democratic process. We provide resources, support, and motivation necessary to actively engage in civic duties, while remaining independent of political affiliations. Together, we forge a stronger community through voter participation.
