The proposed constitutional amendment aims to lower the voting age in Nebraska from eighteen to sixteen years. If approved, it would allow U.S. citizens who turn sixteen on or before the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November to register and vote in that calendar year and in subsequent years. This change would amend Article VI, section 1 of the Nebraska Constitution, which currently stipulates that only those who are eighteen years old can vote.

The amendment is set to be presented to Nebraska voters during the general election in November 2026. The ballot will include language that clearly states the purpose of the amendment, allowing voters to express their support or opposition to the change. If passed, this amendment would represent a significant shift in voting rights for younger citizens in Nebraska.
