Flashback Friday to where we started >>> and now Nebraskans will be able to earn and use paid sick leave. The law goes into effect October 1, 2025!! 💙💛

The 2024 General Election isn't over on election night. County election offices are counting the remainder of early voting ballots and provisional ballots. Then county election offices will begin canvassing and auditing results to ensure every valid vote was accurately counted.

FYI: Election officials across the country continue their tireless count of remaining House races, state legislature races, & battle initiatives. Elections take time, every vote must and WILL be counted, and democracy is working exactly as it should!

We are proud to be in community with so many passionate advocates making a difference in Nebraska this election and beyond.

It took two years, two successful petition drives, and 200,000+ signatures from Nebraskans to ensure voters could decide at the ballot box whether they support giving public funds to private schools. The answer – for the fourth time in the state’s electoral history – is NO.

Nebraska voters have overwhelmingly approved paid sick leave. This is a victory for working families in our state. 💙💛

Every voter should have their voice heard & their vote counted. 🗳️ Remember, it may take longer to count the votes and verify a winner in this year’s election — and that’s okay. We must #CountEveryVote.

#Nebraska polls close at 8 pm CST / 7 pm MST. If you're in line at your polling place then, you're entitled to vote. Stay in line! If you haven't returned your early mail-in ballot yet, get it to a secure county dropbox by 8 pm CST / 7 pm MST, or it won't count. ››

Polls are open in Nebraska until 8 PM CST (7 PM MT), and officials expect turnout to pick up as people get off work. If the polls close while you're in line, stay in line — you have the right to vote.
