EARLY VOTING BALLOT (aka Vote-by-Mail) APPLICATION DEADLINES

You need to apply to vote by mail. Voting by mail is easy and allows you to avoid lines and bad weather. You can also look up information online as you vote which helps with many of the down ballot races where you might not know the candidates.

If you live in one of these counties (Boone, Cedar, Cherry, Clay, Dawes, Dixon, Garden, Knox, Merrill, Merrick, Stanton), you do not have to apply to Vote-By-Mail because they conduct ALL elections by mail. A ballot will be sent to you automatically if you are registered. It is critical to note, if you are an Independent, you will need to notify your county election office that you want a Democratic ballot sent to you.

Independent voters can write on the Vote-by-Mail application that they want a Democratic Ballot mailed to them so they can vote in the Presidential Primary along with ALL other partisan offices on the ballot. Republicans shut out Independents from their Presidential Primary.

You can fill out our Vote-by-Mail Application and we will send you a paper form to fill out. The SOS has a form which you can fill out online, but you must then print, sign and send to your مكتب انتخابات المقاطعة

Do Democrats Allow Independents to Vote in the Primary? 

Democrats allow Independents to vote in all of our Primary elections. The Republican Party does NOT welcome Independent voters. Just ask for a Democratic ballot when you vote, it is that easy!

We no longer are holding caucuses in our state. So all offices, including the President, will be on your primary ballot.

If you are a registered non-partisan in Nebraska, during the Presidential primaries you can request a Democratic ballot at your polling location on May 14 or when you apply to vote by mail or when you vote early at your county election office. 

For all Congressional offices (U.S. Senate and House of Representatives), if you are a non-partisan voter, you can request a partisan Democratic ballot for these federal races. That is a matter of federal law. We hope you choose the Democrats!

For all other state partisan elections (Governor, PSC, etc.), the Democratic Party allows Independent voters to request a Democratic ballot. The Republicans in Nebraska do NOT welcome non-partisan voters in their primary races.

In Nebraska, we have a non-partisan state Legislature — this means regardless of your party affiliation, you can vote for the person you want to see represent you. The top two vote-getters — regardless of party —  in the Primary go on to the General Election.
