Nickerson, Nebraska Public Records

Registration must be completed at least 14 days before an election, with online registration requiring a valid Nebraska driver's license number or state ID number. As a small village, Nickerson holds municipal elections for village board trustees and other local offices on a staggered basis, typically during the November general election in odd-numbered years. The Village Board consists of a board chairperson and trustees serving four-year terms. Residents can locate their polling place through the Voter Information Portal at www.votercheck.necvr.ne.gov by entering their name and date of birth to view registration status, polling location, sample ballot, and elected representatives. Nebraska makes extensive election records available to the public, including voter registration lists that can be purchased for political purposes under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 32-1537, campaign finance reports filed with the Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Commission at www.nadc.nebraska.gov, candidate filing information maintained by the County Election Commissioner, and precinct-level election results published after each election. All Nebraska State Legislature seats serving the county will appear on the ballot, as senators serve four-year terms in the nonpartisan, unicameral legislature with half elected every two years. Village offices in Nickerson may also appear depending on the election cycle. Nebraska voters can request an early voting ballot, as the state offers early voting by mail for any reason rather than traditional absentee voting. Requests must be submitted to the Dodge County Election Commissioner's office beginning 120 days before the election and no later than 6:00 p.m. The second Friday before the election. Completed ballots must be received by the close of polls on Election Day.
