Eight of every 10 Nebraskans who voted did so by mail or by delivering their ballot to a dropbox. Will it be the same for the November General Election? Secretary Evnen said, “My hope is this pandemic will be tamped down by the November election. But whatever the conditions are, we’ll be able to meet them.”
