Together with the Walker River Paiute tribe (two Northern Paiute bands: "Aga'idökadö (Agai Ticutta)": "Cutthroat trout Eaters", and "Pakwidökadö (Pugwi Ticutta)": "Chub carp Eaters"), in 2016 the Pyramid Lake band successfully sued in federal court in a civil rights case to force the state to provide polling places on the reservation. Otherwise members had to travel many miles to reach a polling place. Early voting at Pyramid Lake reservation started October 22, and during the first two days, the number of voters was double that in the 2012 presidential election.
