Nebraska's May 14 primary election looks a little different this year. For the first time, voters will need to bring an ID in order to cast a ballot.
The ID law officially goes into effect Monday.
Around 69,000 Douglas County voters have requested an early ballot. Those voters were the first to provide ID by writing their driver's license or state ID number on the application. Thousands more will have to bring their ID in person.
Under the new law, you'll need to show poll workers your ID before you cast your ballot in Nebraska. Voters approved the constitutional amendment in 2022. State senators then crafted the law.
To be allowed to vote, you'll need to bring one of these forms of ID:
"The law states it just has to have your name and a photo of you on it," Douglas County Election Commissioner Brian Kruse said.
THIS TYPE OF LEGISLATION NEEDS TO BE IMPLEMENTED NATIONWIDE ASAP!!!
