Legislative History

Source: Laws 1994, LB 76, § 212; Laws 2008, LB857, § 1. Annotations: Although Nebraska's statutes unconstitutionally deny an independent candidate access to appear on the ballot in presidential elections, the court directed the independent be included upon a determination he was a serious candidate, truly independent, with a satisfactory level of community support.
