Delegate Selection Plan from the Nebraska Democratic Party.

16 June 2023: DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee Meeting found this plan in conditional compliance. Due to the May primary, the state qualifies for a 20% bonus which is 4 delegates.

14 September 2023: DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee found this plan to be in full compliance.


A candidate who has been determined by the Secretary of State to be a recognized candidate for the presidency is automatically placed on the primary election ballot. For others, the deadline for filing is 15 March 2024.


   

Participation in Nebraska's delegate selection process is open to all voters who wish to participate as Democrats. Nebraska has voter registration by party and provides that a political party may allow non-affiliated voters to vote in their primary election. Nebraska Democratic Party has adopted this rule for 2024.

The polls open and close at the same GMT/UTC time, that is, polls open and close at a particular local time in the advanced time zone and open and close one hour earlier local time in the lagging time zone.
