This bill amends section 32-960 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, to allow counties in Nebraska to conduct elections by mail. The amendment introduces the term "election commissioner" alongside "county clerk," expanding the authority to apply for mail-in ballots to both officials. The bill outlines the process for counties to apply to the Secretary of State to mail ballots to registered voters, requiring a written plan that includes a timetable and provisions for election notices and early voting applications.

Additionally, the bill mandates that counties with approved applications must provide various voting options, including the ability for voters to return ballots in person, maintain secure ballot drop-boxes, and offer in-person voting locations. The original section 32-960 is repealed, indicating a complete overhaul of the previous regulations governing mail-in voting in Nebraska.
