Lincoln, Neb. — Over 330,000 individuals voted in Nebraska’s primary election for a turnout of slightly more than 27%. That was lower than Secretary of State Bob Evnen’s prediction of a 35% turnout.
Evnen says poll workers and county election offices reported only minor issues handling Nebraska’s first statewide election with voter ID.
Based on preliminary evaluations, the Secretary of State’s Elections Division estimates that less than six hundredths of one percent (0.058%) of voters didn’t have
acceptable IDs and voted provisionally – meaning their ballots have not been counted yet.
For their votes to be accepted, those voters will need to present their acceptable IDs to their county election offices by the end of the business day on Tuesday, May 21.
