Permit counties to conduct elections by mail

LB 237 would allow Nebraska counties with fewer than 10,000 residents to conduct elections by mail, after receiving approval from the Secretary of State. To qualify, counties must submit a detailed plan covering election timing, voter notices, and ballot procedures. If approved, counties would need to provide 24/7 secure ballot drop boxes for at least 10 days before elections, accept hand-delivered ballots, maintain at least one in-person voting location on election day, and follow existing early voting rules. This bill does not change ballot deadlines or require counties to adopt mail voting - it only permits it under specified conditions for small counties.
