Navajo lawmakers voted down a measure last week that would have increased the Tribal Council from 24 members to 88.
Navajos voted a year ago to reduce the council to 24 members as part of a ballot initiative. The smaller council will be seated in January.
The measure sought to have Navajos vote through a referendum to increase the council.
A special session of the Tribal Council continues this week in Window Rock.
Still on the agenda are two bills to fire the tribes top two justice officials Attorney General Louis Denetsosie and Deputy Attorney General Harrison Tsosie. Both have less than a month left in their jobs before a new tribal administration takes over.
