Interim Executive Director Veronica Curley said the certified field includes 16 candidates for Navajo Nation president, 85 for Council delegate seats, seven for the Navajo Board of Election Supervisors, 10 for the Navajo Nation Board of Education, two for Kayenta Township commissioner and three for the Naschitti Chapter Governance Commission.
