OMAHA- Civic Nebraska on Tuesday reported confusion at several polling locations over the state’s relatively new voter ID requirement. The nonpartisan voting rights group, which monitors Nebraska’s elections, said that as of about noon it had received reports that poll workers at five polling places — two in Lincoln, two in Omaha, and one in Bellevue — were incorrectly telling voters they could not cast a ballot if the address on their ID did not match the address on their voter registration.

Civic Nebraska said the reports came from its Voter Helpline and volunteer election observers. In most instances, Civic Nebraska said, the voters in question resorted to casting provisional ballots, known as the “ballot of last resort,” which will not be counted until after Election Day. Civic Nebraska said in the news release that it alerted the Secretary of State’s Office about the reported concerns, and the state’s Election Division reminded all county election offices of actual voter ID requirements.
