All Nebraska primary voters will be invited to vote by mail if they wish [View all]

All Nebraska registered voters will be mailed an application form that will allow them to vote in the May 12 primary election by mail or through a drop box if they prefer to avoid crowd contact that they would encounter by going to the polls.

But polling places will be open as usual and sanitized with provisions in place for separation of voters, Secretary of State Bob Evnen said Thursday.

Gov. Pete Ricketts encouraged voters to request an early ballot if they wish while recognizing that polling places will take "appropriate precautions" to protect voters who may wish to cast their votes in person on Election Day.

"The May 12 primary will go forward as planned," the governor said during his daily coronavirus press briefing. "It's important to hold elections … vital for our republic."
