Potential voters face May 1 deadline

 

April 30, 2020



COVID-19 has changed things up a bit for Nebraskans. In-person voter registration is no exception. Nebraskans who want to register to vote in person still can do so until the May 1 deadline.

Election day workers are still needed for the Nuckolls County polls. Those interested need to contact Carrie Miller, Nuckolls county clerk.

The election office in the Nuckolls County Courthouse will be open until 6 p.m. tomorrow, Friday, May 1, for final voter registration. Because of the COVID lockdown, anyone wanting to register must call the county clerk’s office for an appointment.

May 1 is also the deadline to accept early ballot applications.

A voter registration form can be printed, filled out, signed and dropped in a county ballot drop box by 6 p.m. May 1. In Nuckolls County the voter box is located in the courthouse parking lot. Those who wish to register to vote are able to use the same box to drop off their signed registration form found online at https://www. nebraska.gov/apps-sos-voter-registration/

Other May 1 deadlines include receipt of early ballot request forms. The deadline to request an early ballot is May 1 at 6 p.m. Early ballot requests received after that date and time will not be processed.

Voters have until May 12 when the polls close to return their completed ballot. Voters can return their ballot by mail, drop it off in the secure voter box located in the courthouse parking lot, or give it to a trusted friend or family member to put in the mail or drop off.

Nebraskans have begun to return their completed ballots. Thus far, 162,000 completed ballots have been returned of the 450,000 ballot sent out. “At least 82 percent of likely primary voters who usually vote at the polling site have requested an early ballot in this primary election,” stated Evnen. “Nebraska may be on a trajectory to setting a new record for ballots cast in Nebraska’s 2020 primary election.”
