NE to Hold In-Person Primary Elections on May 12th


Nebraska will hold In-Person Primary Elections as scheduled May 12th.

Twenty States and One U.S. Territory have Postponed State-Level Elections over the Last Two Months due to the Coronavirus Outbreak.

Since March 17th, only Two States have held Elections with Limited In-Person Voting.

Nebraska will hold its Statewide Primary Elections as Scheduled on Tuesday, May 12th. It will be the First State to hold In-Person Statewide Elections since Wisconsin on April 7th.

In-Person Voting in Ohio's April 28th Statewide Elections was Limited to Individuals with Disabilities and those without Home Mailing Addresses.

Nebraska is one of 27 States that have Changed its Absentee and Mail-In Voting Procedures.

Governor, Pete Ricketts (R), and Secretary of State, Bob Evnen (R), Announced March 26th that every Registered Voter would Receive an Absentee Ballot Application by Mail.

Voters can Return Ballots via Mail or Deposit them in Secure Drop Boxes outside County Election Offices.

Election Offices must Physically receive Absentee Ballots No later than the Time Polls Close at 8 p.m. CT, May 12th.

Evnen told the Omaha World-Herald, April 11th, that more than 200,000 Registered Voters had Requested a Mail-In Ballot. A Total of 261,802 Votes were Cast in the State’s Democratic and Republican 2018 Gubernatorial Primaries. Evnen also said many of Nebraska’s Regular Polling Sites will be Open for In-Person Voting on May 12th.

Nebraska Voters will be deciding:

- Democratic Presidential Primary

- Republican Presidential Primary

- Primary for the U.S. Senate Seat currently held by Sen. Ben Sasse (R)

- All Three U.S. House Districts

- One of Five Seats on the Nebraska Public Service Commission

- 25 of 49 Districts in the State Senate

- Various Municipal Offices

- Nonpartisan Primary for Two of Eight Seats on the University of Nebraska Board of Regents and Four of Eight Seats on the Nebraska State Board of Education. The Top-Two Finishers in each of those Races will Advance to the General Election, even if there are Only Two Candidates Running. Just one of those Six Primaries, for the District 2 Seat on the University of Nebraska Board of Regents, has more than Two Candidates.
