LINCOLN- Come November, Nebraska voters may be deciding whether the state will adopt newly proposed voter ID requirements.

Over the summer, groups supporting the initiative submitted about 170,000 signatures to the Nebraska secretary of state to get the constitutional question in front of voters.

The secretary of state is reviewing and verifying those signatures to ensure they meet the requirements. The state requires groups to gather signatures from 7% of all registered voters and from 5% of registered voters in at least 38 of Nebraska’s 93 counties.

If both requirements are met, Nebraskans will see the initiative on the November ballot.

"We are doing this to make sure that not only do elections in Nebraska stay free and fair, but to ensure voters have confidence in our election process," says Nebraska's Citizens for Voter ID.

If the amendment is on the ballot and is passed, Nebraska would join 35 other states that currently require some form of identification at the polls.

This is a conversation that has been had on the floor of the legislature but has been shot down multiple times.
