Voting by Mail in Nebraska
Any eligible voter in Nebraska can request an early mail-in ballot for any reason.
Voting is our most important right.
Any registered voter in Nebraska can request a mail-in ballot. If you voted by mail in the last election, you must re-apply in order to vote by mail in any future elections.
No excuse needed: Any registered voter can vote early.
As a registered Nebraska voter, you can request a mail-in ballot for any reason. This way, you don’t have to take any chances with Election Day lines, illness, or other unforeseen circumstances.

The numbers tell the story: Vote-by-mail is a powerful driver of voter participation in Nebraska. More people choosing early mail-in ballots means higher overall turnout in the Cornhusker State. That’s a good thing for democracy.
