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.

Join us for our Annual Public Comment Board Meeting on June 14, 2025.
Each year, Disability Rights Nebraska invites the public to share feedback on our proposed Goals and Objectives for the upcoming fiscal year. This input helps guide our work and ensures we focus on the issues that matter most to Nebraskans with disabilities.
Our Annual Public Comment Board Meeting will be held on June 14, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 11:30 AM. This is a brief but important opportunity to share your voice, ask questions, and learn how Disability Rights Nebraska plans to protect and promote the rights of people with disabilities across the state.
All are welcome. For meeting details or accessibility accommodations, please contact us at info@disabilityrightsnebraska.org or 800-422-6691.
