TAHLEQUAH, OKLAHOMA - The results of the Cherokee Nation’s 2003 General Election will be posted on the Cherokee Nation web site Saturday night with updates every five minutes.

For the convenience of Cherokee citizens, the updated election information will also be projected onto a screen in the O-si-yo Training Room, located behind the Restaurant of the Cherokees on Highway 62 south of Tahlequah.

The Cherokee people will also be voting on a constitutional amendment to remove federal approval from future constitutional questions.
