### Term limits[edit]

See also: State legislatures with term limits

The Nebraska State Senate is one of 15 state legislatures with term limits. Voters enacted the Nebraska Term Limits Act in 2000. That initiative limited senators to terms of no more than two four-year terms.[1]

The first year that the term limits enacted in 2000 impacted the ability of incumbents to run for office was in 2008.

### Vacancies[edit]

See also: How vacancies are filled in state legislatures

If there is a vacancy in the Nebraska State Legislature, the governor is responsible for appointing a replacement. If the vacancy happens sixty days before a general election, the replacement must serve the remainder of the unfilled term until a new representative is elected and sworn in during the next legislative session. If the vacancy happens more than 60 days before an general election, the replacement serves the remainder of the unfilled term before the next general election when a new representative is elected.[3]

## Redistricting[edit]

### 2020-2022[edit]

See also: Redistricting in Nebraska after the 2020 census

On September 30, 2021, the Nebraska State Legislature approved a new state legislative map, 37-7. Gov. Pete Ricketts signed the map into law shortly afterwards.[4] This map takes effect for Nebraska's 2022 legislative elections.

How does redistricting in Nebraska work? In Nebraska, both congressional and state legislative district boundaries are drawn by the state legislature. A simple majority is required to approve a redistricting plan, which is subject to veto by the governor.[5]

The Nebraska Constitution requires that state legislative districts "be contiguous and compact, and they keep to county boundaries 'whenever practicable.'"[5][6]

On April 8, 2011, the state legislature approved the following redistricting guidelines:[5]

1. Congressional districts should be held to the same aforementioned constitutional requirements as state legislative districts.
2. Both congressional and state legislative districts should be "understandable to voters, preserve the cores of prior districts, and keep to boundaries of cities and villages when feasible."
3. District boundaries "should not be established with the intention of favoring a political party, other group or any person."

The legislature is entitled to amend these guidelines at its discretion.[5]
