Just in time for Nebraska voters to start receiving their early voting ballots in the mail, VOTE411 will go live on Wednesday, Sept. 30.
VOTE411 is the League of Women Voters’ nonpartisan voter guide and is available at VOTE411.org. VOTE411 offers voters three main tools: a look at their personalized ballot, an opportunity to register to vote (or to update their registration), and a link to state information on voter registration status.
Every Nebraska race listed on the Secretary of State’s website, including judicial retentions across the state and statewide ballot measures, are included in VOTE411, along with the name of the candidate and answers to biographical and office-specific questions – if the candidate chose to participate. Voters in Lancaster and Douglas counties will also see any race, candidate and ballot measure that might appear on their ballots.
Voters can see a personalized ballot by entering their address into the VOTE411 portal. That information is not saved by the VOTE411 system, out of respect for a voter’s privacy. The only information retained is the municipality of the user’s attachment to their internet provider, such as “Omaha” or “Benkelman” or “South Sioux City.” More than 24,000 people used VOTE411 during Nebraska’s May 2026 primary and we expect those numbers to double or more for the general election.
Voters who need to register to vote; verify their polling place, in case it has changed; or update their voter registration can do so via VOTE411 from the “Register to Vote” button and following the prompts. Nebraska offers online voter registration directly at this link.
Please note that you can register to vote online up until midnight (CT) on Friday, Oct. 16, the same deadline for all registrations taken outside of the county election office. You can still register in-person at your county election office up until that office closes on Friday, Oct. 23. Voters who move within the same county can still cast a provisional ballot at their new polling place, but should budget 20 minutes to go through that process at the polls if an updated registration is not on file.
Voters can and should check to see that their voter registration status is up to date with the third tool available at VOTE411: “Check Your Registration.” Clicking that button takes the user to the Nebraska Voter Information Lookup website. There, you can check your registration – and the status of your early voting ballot, if requested – find your polling place and check on the status of an online voter registration.
Speaking of early voting, did you know that you can vote early, in-person, at your county’s designated early voting location starting on Monday, Oct. 5, all the way to Monday, Nov. 2? Some counties have extended hours and days – check with your county for its hours.
Planning to vote by mail? Starting on Sept. 28, early voting ballots are being mailed to anyone who has already requested one. You can still request that an early voting ballot be sent to you up until Friday, Oct. 23. Changes in USPS processing means that mail takes a lot longer to get to its destination, so consider using a local election dropbox to safely deposit your ballot, all the way up to the closing of the polls on Nov. 3 – 8 p.m. (CT)/7 p.m. (MT).
If you do need to mail your ballot, give it TWO weeks, not one, and track it, using the information provided in this article to track its receipt and its acceptance at your county’s election office. That mailed ballot must arrive by Nov. 3 in order for it to be counted.
