With one week remaining until Election Day, Secretary of State Bob Evnen reminded voters on Tuesday to cast their early voting ballots or find their polling place if voting at the polls.
Election Day is Nov. 5.
“This is the opportunity for Nebraskans to weigh in on the presidential race, several ballot measures and local issues,” Evnen said. “County election offices are working hard to prepare polling places and assist voters. Our election officials and poll workers are ready to help Nebraska voters cast their ballots securely and independently.”
As of Tuesday morning, county election offices have sent 363,629 early voting ballots to Nebraska voters. County election offices have received and accepted 249,235 early voting ballots. That includes 46,459 early ballots from Nebraskans who have voted early in person at county election offices.
