LINCOLN- The Nebraska Secretary of State’s Office reported a suspicious envelope at its Elections Division headquarters Monday and advises county election officials to be cautious.

Office staff discovered the suspicious envelope Monday morning, which was isolated in a separate area of the office while awaiting support from the Nebraska State Patrol. With assistance from Lincoln Fire and Rescue and the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department, officials tested a substance inside the envelope that turned out to be non-hazardous.

Officials turned over the envelope to the FBI and U.S. Postal Service authorities for further investigation. “The situation was quickly and safely resolved thanks to the swift action taken by our staff members, law enforcement, and other first responders,” Secretary of State Bob Evnen said.
