Navajo Nation voters will be asked to legalize gaming at five chapters in New Mexico and Arizona.
Currently, gaming is limited to a chapter near Albuquerque, New Mexico. A bill to expand gaming to the Shiprock, Hogback and Manuelito chapters in New Mexico and the Nahata Dziil and Leupp chapters in Arizona went into law after Navajo President Joe Shirley Jr. neither signed nor vetoed it last week.
Navajo voters have previously rejected gaming in two referendums.
