MASHPEE A tribal court judge ruled Thursday that mail-in voting is against the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe s constitution and ordered that the upcoming general election be rescheduled so it can be held in person.
Amanda L. WhiteEagle, Mashpee Wampanoag Tribal Alternate District Court Judge, wrote in her order granting the plaintiffs’ preliminary injunction that the planned March 26 election using mail-in voting and/or voting by ballot drop box because of the pandemic would violate the tribe’s constitution.
“The Constitution is the supreme law, and ordinances are to be consistent with the constitutional letter and spirit,” WhiteEagle said in the order.
Nelson Andrews Jr., Kyle Bassett, Aaron Tobey Jr. and Brian Weeden are campaigning for the position.
The chairperson presides over tribal council meetings and acts as the tribe’s official spokesperson. They also serve as the coordinator over all tribal government activities.
The tribe’s last two chairmen have either been convicted of federal crimes or are currently facing federal charges. Some of the candidates have cited the need to restore the integrity of the tribe’s governing process and improve accountability.
The election is currently set to take place through mail-in balloting, with Election Day scheduled for March 26. However, three tribal members, including Tobey, have sued the tribal council and the tribe s election committee to allow in-person voting and reschedule the election to a later date.
