Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Tribal Council, on Monday, June 9, 2025, voted to postpone both the June 16th Cannabis Referendum vote as well as the June 30th Adoption Election due to flaws with the absentee ballots. The ballot sent out included both questions on one ballot. The instruction was to return the absentee ballots by June 16, 2025. These are two separate elections on two different dates and so there is confusion and concern about voter participation, with required voter turnout requirements. And so Tribal Council decided to postpone both elections.
