2024 elections[edit]

See also: Nebraska elections, 2024

Nebraska voters will elect one U.S. Senator and three U.S. Representatives. Additionally there will be a special election to fill the last two years of the six-year term that Ben Sasse (R) was elected to in 2020. Pete Ricketts (R), who Gov. Jim Pillen (R) appointed to fill the vacant left by Sasse's resignation, is running for election. All five incumbents are running for re-election.

There are four seats on the Board of Regents, four seats on the State Board of Education, and two seats on the Public Service Commission up for election. Incumbents are running for re-election for all seats on the Board of Regents and the Public Service Commission. All seats on the State Board of Education are open.

Twenty-five seats in the state Senate are up for election. Fifteen seats are open because an incumbent is not running for re-election.

One seat on the state supreme court is up for election. Nebraska is one of 20 states that use retention elections. In Nebraska, justices must run in a yes-no retention election during the first general election occurring after they have been on the court for three years. Subsequent terms last six years.

There are 22 seats across seven school boards up for election in Nebraska. The districts these boards represent are part of the 475 school districts included in Ballotpedia's coverage of school board elections. This includes all school districts in the 100 largest cities by population and the 200 largest school districts by student enrollment.

Municipal elections will be held in three counties across Nebraska. Those counties are part of the 80 counties included in Ballotpedia's coverage of municipal elections.

Noteworthy elections[edit]

As of Oct. 2, 2024, Ballotpedia has identified two elections as battleground races. Those are the races that we expect to have a meaningful effect on the balance of power in governments or to be particularly competitive or compelling.

  • Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District election, 2024: Incumbent Don Bacon (R) and Tony Vargas (D) are running. In 2022, Bacon's margin of victory was 2.6 percentage points. As of Oct. 2, 2024, four major election forecasters differed in their ratings for the general election, with one rating it Lean Democratic and three rating it Toss-up.
  • United States Senate election in Nebraska, 2024: Incumbent Deb Fischer (R) and Dan Osborn (Independent) are running. In 2018, Fischer's margin of victory was 19.1 percentage points. As of Oct. 2, 2024, four major election forecasters differed in their ratings for the general election, with one rating it Safe Republican and three rating it Likely Republican.

State analysis[edit]

Partisan balance[edit]

Republicans represent all three districts in Nebraska's U.S. House delegation. In the U.S. House, Republicans have a 220-212 majority with three vacancies.

Both of Nebraska's U.S. Senators are Republicans. Democrats have a majority in the U.S. Senate. There are 47 Democrats, 49 Republicans, and four independents. Three independents caucus with the Democratic Party, and one other counts towards the Democratic majority for committee purposes.

There are no formal party alignments or groups within the Nebraska State Senate. Coalitions tend to form issue-by-issue based on a member's philosophy of government, geographic background, and constituency. To learn more about how Ballotpedia determined the partisan affiliation for state senators, click here. Republicans have a 33-15 majority with one nonpartisan member in the state Senate. Republicans won a majority in the state Senate in 1999.

Because the governor is a Republican, Nebraska is one of 23 Republican trifectas. Nebraska's legislature does not have a lower chamber. It has held this status since 1999, when the state's Democratic trifecta was replaced by a Republican trifecta.

Nebraska's attorney general and secretary of state are also Republicans. This makes Nebraska one of 25 states with a Republican triplex. It has held this status since 2018, when a Democratic triplex replaced the state's Republican triplex. It has held this status since 1999, when Gov. Mike Johnson (R) assumed office.

Past presidential election results in Nebraska[edit]

How a state's counties vote in a presidential election and the size of those counties can provide additional insights into election outcomes at other levels of government including statewide and congressional races. Below, four categories are used to describe each county's voting pattern over the 2012, 2016, and 2020 presidential elections: Solid, Trending, Battleground, and New. Click [show] on the table below for examples:


Following the 2020 presidential election, 53.4% of Nebraskans lived in one of the state's 90 Solid Republican counties, which voted for the Republican presidential candidate in every election from 2012 to 2020, and 46.2% lived in one of two Trending Democratic counties: Douglas and Lancaster. Overall, Nebraska was Solid Republican, having voted for Mitt Romney (R) in 2012, Donald Trump (R) in 2016, and Donald Trump (R) in 2020. Use the table below to view the total number of each type of county in Nebraska following the 2020 election as well as the overall percentage of the state population located in each county type.
