LINCOLN- The Nebraska Secretary of State reminded citizens on Tuesday that the state was just six months out from the next statewide primary election, which will be held on May 14th, 2024. This will also be the first Nebraska election to require voter ID, as per the bill signed into law by Gov. Pillen in the spring.

If voters plan to vote by mail for the primary election, Secretary of State Bob Evnen indicated that driver's license or state ID number will need to be written on the ballot application, or voters can enclose a copy of their valid photo ID with their application. To allay concerns, Evnen also reiterated to voters that, if an ID is forgotten on election day, a provisional ballot can be filled out instead, which would require voters to show a valid ID on a later date.

In the case of the May 14th primary, voters will have until May 21st to provide their ID if they forget to bring it while voting in person. Valid forms of identification include Nebraska driver's licenses or state IDs, Nebraska college or university IDs, passports, military IDs, tribal IDs, or hospital, assisted living facility, or nursing home records.
