Washington (CNN) A Native American tribe is suing to stop North Dakota's new voter identification law before the midterm election vote next week, saying that the law disenfranchises voters living on reservations.

The complaint centers around a state voter ID law that requires voters to provide a form of identification that includes their legal name, current street address and date of birth. The plaintiffs say the street address requirement poses a unique challenge to Native Americans who live on reservations or in rural areas, as the street names and residential addressees there have been assigned in incomplete or inconsistent ways.

The federally-recognized Spirit Lake Tribe filed a complaint Tuesday against North Dakota Secretary of State Alvin Jaeger that reads: "Jaeger's implementation of the residential address requirement has imposed severe—sometimes insurmountable—burdens on the right to vote for many voters on reservations."

"These burdens violate the First Amendment," the court document reads.

The tribe wants the court to rule the law "violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments" of the Constitution. It's seeking an injunction that would keep the law from being enforced on November 6, when voters will head to the polls for the midterm elections.
