The proposed constitutional amendment seeks to modify Article III, section 12 of the Nebraska Constitution regarding the eligibility of individuals to serve in the Legislature. Specifically, it aims to extend the limit on consecutive terms from two to three terms, meaning that a person would not be eligible to serve again for four years after completing three consecutive terms, regardless of the district they represent. Additionally, any service prior to January 1, 2001, would not be counted when calculating consecutive terms, and serving more than half of a term would be considered as serving a full term.
This amendment is set to 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.
