This guidance document is advisory in nature but is binding on an agency until amended by such agency. A guidance document does not include internal procedural documents that only affect the internal operations of the agency and does not impose additional requirements or penalties on regulated parties or include confidential information or rules and regulations made in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act. If you believe that this guidance document imposes additional requirements or penalties on regulated parties, you may request a review of the document.

The Nebraska Voter Registration file can be requested from our office by completing the Public Service Request Form for the Nebraska Central Voter Registration System. 

Public Service Request Form

The cost of the file is $500 and can be purchased with cash or a check/money order made out to the Secretary of State.

It is our practice to request a new voter file affidavit and fee annually. Upon payment of the fee and approval of the voter file affidavit, you may request an updated file at any time for one full year. We run a new file on the first day of each month.

The file shall contain all relevant registrant information limited to:

  • Name
  • Residential address
  • Mailing address
  • Phone number
  • Registration status
  • Voter ID
  • Birth year
  • Date of voter registration
  • Precinct
  • Polling place
  • Party affiliation
  • District details
  • Voter history

The file shall be used solely for the purposes related to:

  • Elections
  • Political activities
  • Voter registration
  • Law enforcement
  • Jury selection

The file shall not be posted, displayed, or used for commercial purposes or made accessible on the Internet.

Any person who acquires a list of registered voters shall, following discovery or notification of a breach in the security of the storage of the information, disclose the breach in security to the Secretary of State without delay.
