The May 14 primary election will mark the first election in the history of Nebraska for which voter ID will be required. A Nebraska constitutional amendment requiring voter ID was passed by more than 65% of voters in November 2022. On June 1, 2023, Gov. Jim Pillen signed the voter ID requirements into law. Secretary of State Bob Evnen, the state’s chief election officer, is touring the state on an educational and informational campaign to help voters be aware of the changes and what will be required of them come election day. “We’re going to have a historic election in our May primary,” Evnen said. “It’s important that the voters of the state are aware of the requirements of voter ID.” Caitlyn Thomas, North Platte Telegraph.

Covering Elections and Voting in 2024
By Pam Fessler, Communications Advisor, The Elections Group
The media’s job of informing Americans about elections is more important than ever. Confusion over how elections work has undermined public confidence in the process and allowed disinformation to take hold.
Unfortunately, the news media is facing its own crisis, with dozens of outlets shutting down over the past year and other news organizations letting hundreds of employees go. There will likely be fewer reporters covering voting and elections in 2024 than in past election cycles, and those who do will likely have less experience.
Working with The Elections Group, I produced a new guide that I hope will help as reporters try to navigate this crucial beat. Covering Elections and Voting in 2024 offers reporting tips, story ideas, links to resources and basic information about how the voting process works. Our target audience is local reporters covering elections for the first time, but those with more experience might find it useful as well.
