LINCOLN- Secretary of State Bob Evnen expects to talk a lot this next year about what’s in the state’s new “voter ID” election law. A series of press visits will discuss how voters can cast ballots and satisfy the 2023 law they mandated by signing initiative petitions and adopting a state voter ID constitutional amendment last year.

His office “will be putting this word out repeatedly” through press outlets and social media before the May 14, 2024, primary — the first election that will require voter ID — and the Nov. 5, 2024, general election. The good news, Evnen said, is that “97% to 98%” of Nebraskans already have the two main types of photo ID: a state-issued driver’s license or ID card.

Evnen said, satisfying voter ID will be simple: Show your driver’s license or state ID at your polling place or election office on Election Day, get your ballot and vote. “I don’t think it’s going to be a large problem, because people have to show their IDs for everything,” he said. “This is nothing they should find out of the usual or extraordinary.”
