LR256

Nebraska LR256 proposes an interim study on nonpartisan voter participation and restrictions in primary elections.

Nebraska LR256 directs the Government, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee to conduct an interim study on the growing number of nonpartisan voters in Nebraska and their limited participation in partisan primary elections. The study will explore the trend, the impact of closed primaries on political competitiveness, and the public cost of administering these primaries. It will also consider reforms to ensure full and fair ballot access for nonpartisan voters in primary elections. The committee will report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or Legislature.
