Early in-person voting for the general election started Monday at Nebraska county election offices across the state.
Nebraskans can vote early in person at their county election office through Monday, Nov. 4. Voting in person at county election offices is not available on Nov. 5, Election Day.
“County election offices are open and prepared to welcome voters to their offices,” Secretary of State Bob Evnen said in a press release. “Nebraska voters should be ready to present their acceptable photo ID when they vote.”
County election office addresses and contact information are available here.
More information about early voting is available here.
Voters must present an acceptable photo ID before voting. Acceptable IDs include, but are not limited to:
- Nebraska driver’s license
- Nebraska 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 if their information is up to date.
Nebraskans can get a free state ID from the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). If the person was born in Nebraska and needs a free certified copy of their Nebraska birth certificate to get a free state ID, they can contact the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). A birth certificate is not a valid form of voter ID.
