Secretary of State Bob Evnen certified the final list of candidates for office and ballot measures for the November general election ballot.
“County election offices and our Elections Division have put in exemplary work to ensure that all candidates were appropriately filed and that all petitions were verified and certified in time,” Secretary Evnen said.
The 2024 general election ballot will include six initiative and referendum ballot measures. Ballot numbers were selected by random drawing for each measure, beginning with #434.
#434 Protect Women and Children
#435 Private Education Scholarship Partial Referendum
#436 Paid Sick Leave
#437 Nebraska Medical Cannabis Patient Protection
#438 Nebraska Medical Cannabis Regulation
#439 Protect the Right to Abortion
As required by state law, the Secretary of State will host hearings on the ballot measures in each of the three congressional districts. The hearings will be scheduled in October with more detailed event information to come. The Elections Division will create an informational pamphlet to be distributed at the hearings and made available at county election offices.
