The proposed constitutional amendment, passed by the Nebraska Legislature on May 28, seeks to change the term limits for members of the Nebraska Legislature. Specifically, it aims to amend Article III, section 12, to allow individuals to serve three consecutive terms instead of the current limit of two. The amendment stipulates that any service prior to January 1, 2001, will not count towards the calculation of consecutive terms, and defines that serving more than half of a term will be considered as serving a full term.
This amendment will be presented to the voters of Nebraska during the general election in November 2026. The ballot will include language asking voters whether they support changing the legislative term limit from two consecutive terms to three consecutive terms, with options to vote "For" or "Against" the amendment.
