To vote in the next elections, you will need to show a photo ID. That can be a Nebraska driver’s license, Nebraska state ID card, Nebraska college or university ID card, any veteran, active military or tribal ID with a photo, a United States passport, or a document from your nursing home or assisted living facility with your name and a photo. If you don’t have an ID right now, you can get a free state ID from your local DMV.

From the Blog
Ann Magill, a writer with cerebral palsy, was in grad school when the ADA became law in July 1990. Known for her work on disability and social equality, she often highlighted injustices. In 2010, she attended a disappointing event for the ADA's 20th anniversary, feeling it lacked the necessary attention for raising awareness and acceptance of people with disabilities. This experience inspired her to create a disability pride flag, a project she was particularly driven to complete after a horrific attack on a disabled-serving facility in Japan in 2016.
