Bill > LB334

This bill amends Nebraska's election laws to provide confidentiality for certain personal contact information on candidate filing forms specifically for judges seeking judicial retention. Currently, candidate filing forms require personal details like residence address, mailing address, and telephone number to be publicly accessible. The proposed change would require election officials to keep these specific contact details confidential when the candidate is a judge filing for retention. This means that while other candidate information like name, office sought, and party affiliation would remain public, the residential and contact information for judges seeking to continue serving would be protected from public disclosure. The bill maintains all other existing requirements for candidate filing forms, including the candidate's sworn statement about eligibility and intent to serve if elected. By protecting judges' personal contact information, the bill appears intended to enhance the privacy and potentially the personal security of judicial candidates during the retention election process.
