Panama, Nebraska Public Records

Registration closes the third Friday before an election, or must be postmarked by that date if mailed. Voters need to provide their Nebraska driver's license or state ID number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number. Because Panama has no incorporated city government, residents don't vote in municipal elections but do participate in Lancaster County, Nebraska state, and federal contests. Local voters cast ballots for county commissioner district races, the Nebraska Legislature - the nation's only unicameral nonpartisan legislative body - statewide constitutional offices, and federal positions. To locate their assigned polling place, residents can use the lookup tool at https://www.votercheck.necvr.ne.gov/VoterView by entering their name and date of birth or address. Absentee ballots can be requested online at https://www.nebraska.gov/apps-sos-voter-registration starting 120 days before an election, with applications due by 6 p.m. The second Friday before Election Day. Early in-person voting opens 30 days before the election at the Election Commissioner's Office. Public election records include voter registration lists, available for purchase by campaigns and political parties under Nebraska Revised Statute § 32-916 though individual addresses are restricted, campaign finance reports filed with the Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Commission at https://nadc.nebraska.gov, candidate filing information and petition signatures maintained by the Election Commissioner, and precinct-level election results posted online at https://www.lancaster.ne.gov/election after certification
