LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - The Nebraska Board of State Canvassers convened on Monday to canvass and certify the results of the May 14, 2024, statewide primary election.

”I am very grateful for the diligent work conducted by our election officials and poll workers who served the people of Nebraska in this election,” Secretary of State Bob Evnen said. “For the first time in Nebraska’s history, registered voters in Nebraska were required to present acceptable photo identification before casting their ballots. I’m proud to report that Nebraska’s election officials and voters successfully implemented and followed the new voting requirement.”
After every statewide election, the Elections Division randomly selects precincts for review to ensure that the ballot tabulators functioned as expected. This process is one of several post-election reviews. The procedure involves bipartisan teams that hand-count ballots for three contests – two federal contests determined by the Elections Division and an additional contest determined by county election officials. Three percent of precincts were randomly selected statewide, resulting in the hand-counting of 7,898 ballots in 40 precincts. It is not unusual to see a very small amount of variance. In this audit, however, there was no discrepancy between this hand-count and the results from Nebraska’s ballot counting equipment.
The efforts of the Elections Division, Nebraska’s county election officials and poll workers across the state resulted in a successful voter ID implementation. In total, 99.95% of voters who cast ballots in the primary election provided an approved photo identification prior to voting.
346,661 Nebraskans cast ballots in the May 14, 2024, statewide primary. Final voter turnout for the May primary election was 28%, which was higher than voter turnout in recent pre-pandemic presidential primary elections.
The majority of Nebraskans prefer to cast their ballots at their polling places; however, the preference to vote early by mail and drop box remains higher than pre-pandemic levels.
