Register to Vote

To be eligible to vote in Nebraska, you must be:

  • A United States citizen
  • At least 18 years old on Election Day
  • A resident of Nebraska on or before registration deadline
  • Not a convicted felon; or if convicted your civil rights have been restored at least two years since your sentence has been completed, including probation or parole
  • Not have been officially found to be mentally incompetent
  • Registered to vote

Note: If you recently moved to Nebraska, or moved to another state after the registration deadline, you may only vote a Presidential ballot. By law, your residence is that place at which you have established a home, where you are habitually present, and to which, when you depart, you intend to return. Leaving for temporary purposes, such as military service or school attendance, need not result in a change of residence for voting purposes. However, any permanent change in your residence or address will require you to re-register to vote.

Incarcerated Voters & Returning Citizens: 

In Nebraska, you temporarily lose the right to vote if you are convicted of a state or federal felony. Your right to vote is automatically restored two years after you complete your sentence, including parole, or probation. Pretrial detention and misdemeanors do not restrict your voting rights.  

Note: Beginning on July 18th, a new rule will be implemented that removes the two-year waiting period for the restoration of voting rights after completing a sentence for a felony conviction. Voting rights will be restored immediately upon finishing the sentence, including any parole term.

Voters without traditional residence: 

It is not mandatory for citizens to possess a "permanent home" for voter registration. A citizen can provide an alternative description of their residence, even if they are experiencing homelessness, as long as it enables the authorities to identify and assign a voting precinct to them. This precinct assignment ensures that the voter receives the appropriate ballot. The mailing address on their registration form can be a PO box, local shelter, advocacy organization, outreach center, or the home of someone who will accept mail for them.
