Early voting has begun on the Navajo Reservation for the general election with tribal members able to vote for all of the positions, including that of president.

For a former president who is now seeking his third term in office, Joe Shirley Jr.’s name doesn’t appear that much in the media.

After spending all day on the campaign trail at the 103rd annual Northern Navajo Fair in Shiprock, N.M., Navajo Nation presidential candidate Chris Deschene spent most of the day at the law office of David Jordan.

Kay Rogers and Rosalind Zah, both concerned voters who attended a special meeting of the Navajo Board of Election Supervisors on Tuesday, are relieved the Nov. 4 general election will go on as planned.
