Nebraska’s Parent Voting Law in Court | Lincoln News

Nebraska’s quirky voting law lets U.S. citizens with a Nebraska-based parent register and vote—even if they’ve never lived there. Just 116 people are registered under it, with only six voting in the May primary. The Republican National Committee is suing, claiming it dilutes the vote and violates state residency rules. The Secretary of State defends the law, arguing it’s constitutional and plaintiffs lack standing. Past turnout under this rule has been minimal—less than 1% of total votes. A court hearing to speed up the case is set for August 6, with a decision needed before ballots go out in September.
