    OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF STATE CANVASSERS GENERAL ELECTION NOVEMBER 6, 2018 Compiled by JOHN A. GALE Nebraska Secretary of State STATE OF NEBRASKA _____________ OFFICE OF SECRETARY OF STATE _____________ When I was sworn into office December 19, 2000, our national elections were under heavy assault. Due to election calamities across the country, there was nationwide clamor to improve election technology and election management. The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA), and the $3.5 billion appropriated for elections, was a direct result. State government elected that Nebraska become a top-down state with a statewide election management system, a centralized voter registration database, and a uniform statewide system of election equipment owned and maintained by the state. The choices have served us well and all federal mandates have been met. From 2006 through 2018, Nebraska has had smooth, reliable, accessible, transparent and accountable elections. Nebraska’s 93 county election officials and commissioners have been outstanding partners with the Secretary of State. The Chairman of the U.S. Elections Assistance Commission once ranked Nebraska as an A+ system. Public confidence in our elections has been high. The general election of November 6, 2018, was my ninth general election as Secretary of State. Nebraska hit a voter registration record, a decade plus mid-term election voter turnout, four counties conducting their elections completely by mail and a significant increase in early voting. 2018 was a very smooth election year. It has been a great honor and privilege to serve as Nebraska’s Secretary of State, Chief Election Officer, and as a member of the Nebraska Canvassing Board.
