Hall County Sample Ballots Available Now on NEBRASKA VOTER CHECK

Grand Island, Neb. - Hall County sample ballots for the November 5, 2024 general election are now available for viewing on NEBRASKA VOTER CHECK https://www.votercheck.necvr.ne.gov/VoterView

"This is a great tool for voters to see their own individual ballot." said Hall County Election Commissioner Tracv Overstreet. "Voters enter their name and county on the website and it will bring up the polling place location for that voter as well as the sample ballot at the bottom of the voter page.'

"Sometimes voters don't know which school board ward or city council ward they live in, so this can be a big time-saver for a voter to see the specific candidates and issues on the ballot to get ready for the election," Overstreet said. "The sample ballots also have the exact wording of the five initiatives and one referendum question that voters can read through now to get prepared."

Voters may even print off the sample ballot and bring it with them to use as a guide when voting. Early voting in person runs October 7 to November 4 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays at the Hall County Administration Building, 121 S. Pine Street. The building will be closed Oct. 14 for Columbus Day. Hall

County's 24 polling sites will be open Election Day November 5 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
