Nebraska Voters, Submit your Ballot Request for the May 11, 2010 State Primary!
 
Nebraska will hold its State primary election on Tuesday, May 11, 2010.
 
Register to Vote
 
All UOCAVA citizens: Your Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) will be considered timely if it is received by Friday, April 23, 2010. If you are not currently registered you should submit your FPCA by mail or fax immediately by clicking here 
 
In Nebraska, the FPCA registers you to vote and requests your absentee ballot for all regularly scheduled Federal Elections for the calendar year in which it is submitted.
 
To vote in primary elections, you must enter your political party affiliation. If you want to change your political party affiliation, submit a completed FPCA indicating your new party preference to the local election official no later than the third Friday before the election. Political party affiliation is not required if only requesting absentee ballots for general elections.
 
Request Your Ballot
 
If you are already registered, you must still complete the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) to request an absentee ballot, you can do that by clicking here 
 
To request a ballot for this election submit the FPCA if you have not done so already. Remember that for a Primary Election you must declare your political party affiliation by requesting the ballot of a political party.  Although the deadline for receipt of the FPCA as a ballot request is May 5, 2010, do not wait!
 
Nebraska allows you to submit the FPCA mail or fax.
 
You may fax your FPCA directly to your county election office. If you choose to fax your FPCA, you must also submit the FPCA by mail too. Fax numbers can be found here 
 
You may also use the DOD Electronic Transmission Service to fax your FPCA. IF you choose this option, use the cover sheet available here and fax to: (703)-693-5527, DSN 223-5527, or toll-free from the U.S. and Canada, International toll-free numbers are available here
