OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE NEBRASKA BOARD OF STATE CANVASSERS GENERAL ELECTION NOVEMBER 3, 2020 Compiled by Robert B. Evnen Nebraska Secretary of State STATE OF NEBRASKA _____________ OFFICE OF SECRETARY OF STATE _____________ This is the 54th Edition of the General Election Canvass Book that has been published in this state, and it is my first general election serving as Nebraska’s 27th Secretary of State and Chief Elections Official. As was the May primary, the November 3, 2020, general election was historic in a number of respects. There were 966,920 Nebraskans who voted in our general election, a turnout of 76 percent. Nebraska voters once again cast their ballots in large numbers in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. An unprecedented number of voters chose to vote early in the general election, but the percentage of those voting early was significantly lower than the May primary. More than 488,000 Nebraskans cast early ballots by mail, by drop box, or by voting early in person at their county election office. Close to 48,000 voters who cast their ballots in precincts that conducted their elections exclusively by mail. By comparison in the 2016 presidential general election about 233,000 voted early and again in the 2018 general election about 208,000 voted early. On Election Day, every precinct opened on time and over 417,000 Nebraskans voted at their polling site. As in the primary election, measures were taken to assure the safety of voters and poll workers. I am very grateful to the more than 4,000 poll workers who kept Nebraska’s polls open. The success of our general election was the result of the efforts of our Nebraska voters, our County Clerks and Election Commissioners and their staff members, and the Secretary of State’s Elections Division. I am also grateful to our election vendors, who provided exemplary service to our Nebraska voters. Sincerely, Robert B.
