The Nebraska Democratic Party on Thursday called on Secretary of State Bob Evnen and Governor Pete Ricketts to consider moving entirely to Vote-by-Mail ballots for the May 12 Primary Election in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
NDP主席简·克利布说：“鉴于这种流行病正在迅速蔓延，并在我们全国范围内造成越来越多的破坏，卫生官员正在敦促采取足够的谨慎态度。” “这是一场公共卫生危机，我们需要避免投票站和选举受到干扰的情况。我们需要进行一次所有的“按邮寄投票”选举。我们党准备与共和党人和政府携手合作，以确保安全的选举并保护我们的民主。”
For our part, the NDP will mail Vote-By-Mail applications to voters in addition to launching an online portal for Nebraskans to request a Vote By Mail Application be sent to them. 请参阅此处的在线申请表。
On Wednesday, the COVID-19 viral disease that has swept into at least 114 countries and killed more than 4,000 people was officially declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. It’s the first time the WHO has called an outbreak a pandemic since the H1N1 “swine flu” in 2009.
See our Voting Center for updates on those counties sending voters ballots so they can Vote by Mail.
