information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask us in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying

cannot guarantee that we will be able to

Abstract: Under the Indian
Reorganization Act, Tribes have the
right to organize and adopt
constitutions, bylaws, and any
amendments thereto, and ratify charters
of incorporation, through elections
called by the Secretary of the Interior,
according to rules prescribed by the
Secretary. See 25 U.S.C. 476, 477, 503.
The Secretary’s rules for conducting
these elections, known as ‘‘Secretarial
elections,’’ and approving the results are
at 25 CFR 81. In most cases, the Tribe
requests a Secretarial election; however,
an individual voting member of a Tribe
may also request a Secretarial election
by petition. These rules also establish
the procedures for an individual to
petition for a Secretarial election.
The BIA requires the Tribe to submit
a formal request for Secretarial election,
including: A Tribal resolution; the
document or language to be voted on in
the election; a list of all Tribal members
who are age 18 or older in the next 120
days (when the election will occur),
including their last known addresses,
voting districts (if any), and dates of
birth, in an electronically sortable
format.
While much of the information the
Tribe prepares for a Secretarial election
(e.g., list of members eligible to vote)
would be required if the Tribe instead
conducted its own Tribal election, the
Secretary’s rules establish specifics on
what a Tribal request or petition for
election must contain. These specifics
are necessary to ensure the integrity of
Secretarial elections and allow the BIA
and Tribal personnel the ability to
consistently administer elections.
Title of Collection: Secretarial
Elections.

over Indian child custody proceedings.
