Nebraskans spoke out in resounding numbers this week - we want to keep our elections the Nebraska way. Our state's current unique electoral system helps every Nebraskan have their vote heard and counted. https://t.co/OagvRoLPw9?

It’s the last week for signature collection for the #LNK for Fair Housing ballot initiative. Now is the time to sign the petition for fair housing and help get source-of-income protections on the city's May 6 ballot. 🖊️

Join us tonight to learn about how you can make your voice heard against LB3 and LR24CA’s extreme impacts on Nebraska’s electoral system: https://t.co/55Kc7PGUED

[Nebraska Civic Engagement Table @nebraska_table]

Nebraska’s unique split electoral vote is a model for a healthy democracy that helps Nebraskans of all backgrounds have their votes heard and counted. LB3 & LR24CA threaten to erase this.

On #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance and every other day, we honor the lives and legacies of all trans people who are no longer with us.

[Paid Sick Leave for Nebraskans - Initiative 436 @PaidSickLeaveNE]

Flashback Friday to where we started >>> and now Nebraskans will be able to earn and use paid sick leave. The law goes into effect October 1, 2025!! 💙💛

[NE Secretary of State Robert Evnen @NebraskaSOS]

The 2024 General Election isn't over on election night. County election offices are counting the remainder of early voting ballots and provisional ballots.

Then county election offices will begin canvassing and auditing results to ensure every valid vote was accurately counted.

[Nonprofit VOTE @NpVOTE]

FYI: Election officials across the country continue their tireless count of remaining House races, state legislature races, & battle initiatives. Elections take time, every vote must and WILL be counted, and democracy is working exactly as it should!

[Nebraska Civic Engagement Table @nebraska_table]

We are proud to be in community with so many passionate advocates making a difference in Nebraska this election and beyond.

Read the full release: https://t.co/9VUSfF8iJz.

[Support Our Schools Nebraska @SOSNebraska]

It took two years, two successful petition drives, and 200,000+ signatures from Nebraskans to ensure voters could decide at the ballot box whether they support giving public funds to private schools.

The answer – for the fourth time in the state’s electoral history – is NO.

[Paid Sick Leave for Nebraskans - Initiative 436 @PaidSickLeaveNE]

Nebraska voters have overwhelmingly approved paid sick leave. This is a victory for working families in our state. 💙💛

[Demos @Demos_Org]

Every voter should have their voice heard & their vote counted. 🗳️

Remember, it may take longer to count the votes and verify a winner in this year’s election — and that’s okay. We must #CountEveryVote.

[Civic Nebraska @CivicNE]

#Nebraska polls close at 8 pm CST / 7 pm MST. If you're in line at your polling place then, you're entitled to vote. Stay in line! If you haven't returned your early mail-in ballot yet, get it to a secure county dropbox by 8 pm CST / 7 pm MST, or it won't count. ››

[ACLU of Nebraska @ACLUofNE]

Polls are open in Nebraska until 8 PM CST (7 PM MT), and officials expect turnout to pick up as people get off work. If the polls close while you're in line, stay in line — you have the right to vote.
