Election Commissioner
Nebraska Law requires a signature on all requests for an Early/Absentee Ballot.
Please note:
Requests for Early/Absentee Ballots to be mailed to a voter must be received in the Election Commissioner's
office by Wednesday, May 9, 2012 at 4:00 pm. That is the deadline for the Election Office

interested in casting an early/absentee ballot must personally come into the election office and vote
an early/absentee ballot or pick up a ballot. The ballot must be voted and returned to the Election
Commissioner's Office by 8:00 p.m. on Primary Election Day, May 15th.
Voters have three options to obtain an early/absentee ballot. Those options are listed below:
