Secretary of State Bob Evnen predicts voter turnout for Nebraska’s 2024 General Election will be around 72%. The estimate is based on early voting turnout and turnout trends in recent general elections.
“County election offices have done a remarkable job helping early voters cast their ballots securely,” Secretary of State Bob Evnen said. “Nebraskans continue to fulfill the new voter ID requirement before voting, and we expect that to continue on Election Day.”
Monday, November 4, is the final day voters can vote early in person at county election offices.
Tuesday, November 5, is the final day voters can return their early voting ballot to county election offices.
In order to be counted, early voting ballots must be returned to county election offices by the close of polls (8 p.m. Central Time, 7 p.m. Mountain Time) on Election Day. Late ballots will not be accepted, even if postmarked on or before Election Day. It’s too late for voters to mail their early voting ballots. Voters should utilize secure drop boxes to return their early voting ballots before the close of polls on Election Day.
So far, 332,455 registered Nebraska voters have successfully cast ballots for the November 5 General Election.
72,049 voters have voted early in person at county election offices.
260,406 voters have voted early by mail including voters in by-mail counties or precincts.
Nebraska is home to 1,264,149 registered voters.
Tuesday, November 5, is Election Day. Polling sites will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Central Time (or 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mountain Time). Nebraska voters can find their polling place on VoterCheck.
Voters should be prepared to vote with one of the following acceptable IDs:
- Nebraska driver’s license or state ID
- U.S. passport
- Military ID
- Tribal ID
- Hospital, intermediate care facility, assisted-living facility or nursing home record
- Nebraska political subdivision ID (state, county, city, school, etc.)
- Nebraska college or university ID (public or private)
The ID must have the voter’s name and photo. IDs can be expired. The new law does not require Nebraska voters to re-register to vote. Voter ID educational material is available in English and Spanish at voterID.nebraska.gov.
