- Election Commission doors: open at 8 a.m.
- Machine testing: all nine machines before Election Day
- Party observers at testing: first time, under a 2025 law
Before today, the commission put its vote-counting machines through logic and accuracy testing, where staff mark ballots, run them through a machine and compare the results with a manual tally. The Lincoln Journal Star also ran a voter guide for Omaha-area voters who haven't voted early or sent in a mail ballot.
