The Husker Vote Coalition is a nonpartisan university committee run out of the Student Leadership, Involvement, and Community Engagement Office. We connect with students at all stages of their civic engagement journey by providing educational programming, voter registration tabling, and data analysis for local, state, and national elections.

Voter ID
Nebraska’s voter ID law (LB514) requires all registered Nebraska voters, with limited exceptions, to present an acceptable form of photo ID when voting in Nebraska elections. If you are unable to acquire a valid photo identification for early voting due to religious objection, disability, illness, or lack of birth certificate or other required documents, please submit a Reasonable Impediment Certification with your early vote request.
