The Navajo Nation Council voted 61-8 last week to a gaming referendum from the November ballot
The referendum would have asked tribal members to allow gaming on the reservation. It was dropped because the council already approved a law allowing gaming at six different communities.
Gaming is currently legalized at Tohajillee, a Navajo community near Albuquerque that is detached from the main reservation. Leaders there signed a compact with the state of New Mexico.
