Bill Summary

Constitutional amendment to state that only a United States citizen may be an elector

AI Summary

This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to the Constitution of Nebraska that would change the eligibility requirements for being an "elector," which is a person qualified to vote. Currently, the Constitution states that "Every citizen of the United States" meeting age and residency requirements can vote. This amendment, if approved by Nebraska voters in the November 2026 general election, would specifically add the phrase "Only a" before "citizen of the United States," thereby clarifying and reinforcing that only United States citizens can be electors, while maintaining the existing age and residency qualifications. The amendment will be presented to voters with the ballot question: "A constitutional amendment to state that only a United States citizen may be an elector."
