Early voting for the May 4th Lincoln City General Election began Monday morning. Lincoln – Lancaster County Election Commissioner David Shively says over 40,000 early vote ballots will be mailed on Monday. Voters who requested early vote ballots by mail can expect to see them in their mailboxes within the next few days.
Shively reminds voters that state law permits any registered voter to vote an early vote ballot. However, voters must request that ballot in writing. An early vote ballot request form is available on the Election Commissioner’s web site at: www.lancaster.ne.gov/election. Shively reminds those voters interested in obtaining an early vote ballot through the mail that requests must be received in his office no later than 6:00 p.m. on Friday, April 23rd.
Another option for voters is to cast an early vote ballot in person at the Election Office. Voters who want to vote an early ballot in person may come directly to the Election Commissioner’s Office which is located at 601 North 46th Street and is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
