OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — Voter registration deadlines are fast approaching, and you don't want to be left without the chance to fulfill your civic duty.
In order to vote in the upcoming gubernatorial primary election on May 10, you need to have registered online or have your mail-in registration card signed and postmarked before midnight Friday. The Nebraska Secretary of State's website allows individuals to use the voter registration portal to check and change their registration information as well as find their nearest polling place.
If you missed the mail-in deadline, you're not out of luck, but you will have to register in person. Residents can register at their county Election Commission Office until 6 p.m. on Monday, May 2. For Douglas County residents, that will be at 12220 West Center Rd.
To register, you must be a legal US citizen and a resident of Nebraska who is 18 years old or will be by election day. If it is your first time registering to vote in this state, you must provide a copy of your unexpired ID along with a copy of a standard document that reflects your name and address such as a bank statement, paycheck, utility bill or another government document that is current within 60 days of presentation.
The primary election in Nebraska requires a party affiliation in order to vote for your party's nominees in state and county offices, otherwise, unaffiliated voters will only receive non-partisan ballots.
