LINCOLN- Nebraska voters appear likely to vote on whether to legalize and regulate medical marijuana, as well as decide the fate of a new “school choice” law in November’s election, barring last-minute legal challenges. Secretary of State Bob Evnen confirmed that both ballot measures had exceeded the requirements for verification and will qualify once certification is complete.

“Our office is providing this update to keep voters informed of where county election offices are in the signature verification process,” Evnen said. Candidates and issues must be certified for the November ballot in Nebraska by September 13.

Crista Eggers, campaign manager for Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana, said her team was “beyond excited” that Nebraskans will soon weigh in on the issue.
