Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana say over the past two weeks they have brought in over 40,000 signatures and qualified more than 15 counties.
The campaign has recruited over 150 paid volunteer circulators who are traveling the state to help collect and a team of over 600 volunteers have also ramped up their efforts. In addition to the overall signature requirement of 87,000 valid signatures on each of the two petitions, ballot initiatives must also qualify at least 38 of the 93 Nebraska counties.
Currently the campaign has a combined total of 80,000 signatures across their two petitions. “Over the last two weeks, Nebraskans have made it clear that they absolutely support this issue. They want to sign our petition to put medical cannabis on the ballot, and they have stepped up to help us do just that,” says State Senator Anna Wishart.
Nebraskans can find over 100 locations to sign the petitions in nearly every community at www.nmm2022.org/sign. Individuals 18 years or older can volunteer to help collect signatures at nmm2022.org/volunteer, or apply to be a paid circulator at nmm2022.org/paid.
