Nebraska Bill to Lower Number of Signatures for Independent Candidates

Nebraska Senator Justin Wayne (D-Omaha) has introduced LD 98. It lowers the number of signatures for a non-presidential independent candidate for statewide office from 10% of the number of registered voters, to 4,000 signatures.

The state agreed last year not to enforce the 10% petition requirement, so this bill, if passed, merely brings the election code into conformity with actual policy.
