Change provisions relating to voter registration, ballots, and poll watchers and observers
Nebraska's LB 884 amends election laws to require the Secretary of State to verify voter citizenship using federal data (like the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements Program), with cooperation from the Attorney General and DMV, directly affecting voter registration. It bans political party markings on ballot envelopes, mandates white ballots for most elections (with limited exceptions), and requires direct transport of sealed ballot boxes to central counting locations. The bill also updates poll watcher rules, requiring unobstructed viewing of ballot counting via video and restricting observers to non-partisan, non-candidate affiliated individuals. These changes apply to all voters and election officials statewide during general and local elections.
