Nebraska Photo Voter Identification Initiative

Nebraska Ballot Measure - Initiative 432

Election: Nov. 8, 2022 (General)

Outcome: Passed

Categories:

Elections

Summary


The initiative would amend the Nebraska Constitution to require valid photo identification in order to vote. The amendment would leave the regulation of photo identification up to the Nebraska State Legislature. Currently, voters do not need to present photo identification in order to vote in Nebraska. A voter may be asked for identification if he or she is a first-time registrant who mailed in his or her registration application and did not provide identification at that time.
