No final named statewide write-in list yet

A write-in candidate for statewide office must file the required affidavit by 5 p.m. October 23, 2026. That deadline remained open when official sources were checked October 1, so zero is a checked-to-date named statewide count, not a claim that no one can still file.

Coverage boundary: This page covers only candidate contests decided by all Nebraska voters. It excludes U.S. House, Legislature, Public Service Commission district, State Board of Education district, University Board of Regents district, local, and other substate contests. The two Nebraska Workers' Compensation Court retention questions apply statewide but are shown separately because they are judicial retention questions, not candidate contests. Generic write-in lines are not counted as printed candidates. Read the full coverage boundary.
