Bill Summary

Interim study to examine the trend of increasing numbers of Nebraska voters who register as nonpartisan and how these voters are restricted from fully participating in partisan primary elections for some statewide, federal, and local offices

AI Summary

This resolution directs the Government, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee of the Nebraska Legislature to conduct an interim study examining the increasing trend of voters registering as nonpartisan and the current restrictions these voters face when attempting to participate in partisan primary elections for various statewide, federal, and local offices. The study aims to understand the challenges nonpartisan voters encounter in the electoral process, with the committee required to compile a comprehensive report of its findings and recommendations to be submitted to the Legislative Council or the full Legislature upon completion of the study. By initiating this research, the resolution seeks to explore potential electoral participation barriers for nonpartisan voters and potentially identify policy solutions to address these limitations.
