Diné To Do’s
The civic work in front of the Nation right now — sorted by when it’s due. Tasks have deadlines and guides. We don’t tell you what to do with your vote or your voice — we tell you what the doors are and when they close.
🟢 Open — deadline coming
🟡 In motion — milestone ahead
🔵 Ongoing — no deadline
⚪ Coming — post-election
📆 Right now — time-sensitive
Vote in the Primary — July 21, 2026
🟢 Open Ten days. Polls open Tuesday, July 21. Early voting at any agency election office through Friday, July 17 at 5 pm — you don’t have to go to your home agency.
Guide: Voting — how, when, where → Find candidates: The directory →
Register for the General — September 24, 2026
🟢 Open Primary registration closed. But November’s door is open until September 24 at 5 pm — and that ballot carries the constitution referendum, not just candidates.

Weigh the Constitution Referendum — November 3, 2026
🟡 In motion A yes-or-no on the proposed constitution is on the November ballot. This isn’t a candidate race — it’s a structural decision about how the Nation governs itself for generations. The strongest thing you can do is read both sides before you decide.

🔧 Ongoing — no deadline, but it matters
Fix the public record
🔵 Ongoing The law says contracts, bidding records, and complaint outcomes are public. Most aren’t published. Citizens can request them — right now, without an election.

Know what you control
🔵 Ongoing Votes, records requests, chapter resolutions, testimony at hearings. The levers a citizen actually holds — each one cited, gaps named plainly.
Guide: What you control → All five routes: How the people make fixes happen →
Report what you observe
🔵 Ongoing Fraud, waste, abuse, workplace violations, unresponsive officials — there are real channels. Knowing which door to use is half the outcome.

Help close the data gaps — and build up where things are weak
🔵 Ongoing This site publishes what it can’t find as openly as what it can. Documents we couldn’t locate, questions we can’t answer, data that should exist but doesn’t.

🕐 After November — the work that doesn’t end
Hold the next officials accountable
⚪ Coming Whoever wins in July and November inherits all the open problems. The tools for accountability — the Auditor General, Ethics & Rules, public records, chapter resolutions — don’t go away after the election.

Keep building this platform
🔵 Ongoing The Civic Center is a volunteer project. The election is the occasion; civic capacity is the mission. Lessons, data, corrections, and community findings keep improving it — and that work never ends.

The verdict on any of these stays with you — we bring the doors and the deadlines, nothing more.
