Secretary of State Bob Evnen predicts voter turnout for Nebraska’s 2024 General Election will be around 72%. The estimate is based on early voting turnout and turnout trends in recent general elections.
“County election offices have done a remarkable job helping early voters cast their ballots securely,” Secretary of State Bob Evnen said. “Nebraskans continue to fulfill the new voter ID requirement before voting, and we expect that to continue on Election Day.”
Yesterday, November 4, was the final day voters could vote early in person at county election offices.
Today, November 5, is the final day voters can return their early voting ballot to county election offices. In order to be counted, those ballots must be returned by the close of polls (8 PM Central Time or 7 PM Mountain Time) today. Late ballots aren’t accepted, even if postmarked on or before today. Voters should utilize secure drop boxes to return their early voting ballots before the close of polls today.
As of Monday, 332,455 registered Nebraska voters had successfully cast ballots for today’s general election. 72,049 have voted early in person at county election offices. 260,406 have voted early by mail including voters in by-mail counties or precincts.
Nebraska is home to 1,264,149 registered voters.
Polls are open today from 8 AM to 8 PM Central Time. If you are unsure of your polling place, you may visit VoterCheck.
