Early voting begins ahead of Nebraska primary
LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Early voting for the primary election started Monday, and more than 35,000 Nebraskans have already requested ballots.

Acceptable forms of photo ID include:
- Nebraska driver’s license
- Nebraska state ID
- U.S. passport
- Military ID
- Tribal ID
- Hospital, assisted-living facility or nursing home record
- Nebraska political subdivision ID (state, county, city, school, etc.)

There are 93 county election offices across Nebraska that will accept ballots.
This early voting period will close May 13, one day before the primary.
