WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. (AP) – Navajo Nation lawmakers are meeting in a special session Friday to consider a bill to fund a belated presidential election.

The measure sponsored by Delegate Dwight Witherspoon would give nearly $318,000 to the Navajo Election Administration to hold a presidential contest.

The general election originally scheduled last November had been delayed repeatedly by court challenges over language fluency requirements, other qualifications for candidates and lawmakers’ attempts to switch up election law.

The tribe’s high court most recently struck down a bill to hold a new primary election.

Navajos are set to go to the polls April 21 to decide whether Russell Begaye or Joe Shirley Jr. will be their next president.

Ben Shelly will continue serving as the tribe’s top leader until a new president is sworn in May 12.
