Nebraska voters will head to the polls on Tuesday

Nebraska residents will have an opportunity to visit the polls on Tuesday to cast their ballots in the 2024 election. Polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Potential voters are required to register and this year voters will be required to show an approved form of picture identification before receiving their ballot packet. For most people, a Nebraska driver’s license will suffice. For those that don’t have the license, the state motor vehicle department will, when asked, provide a free state identification card if the applicant was born in Nebraska and supplies a certified copy of their Nebraska birth certificate. A birth certificate, alone, is not a valid form of identification.

Other forms of acceptable identification include a U.S. passport, military and tribal IDs. The ID must have the voter’s name and picture.
