Advocates for All Nebraskans now pushing for five initiatives trying to reach 2026 ballot
By: Juan Salinas II - October 14, 2025 8:08 pm
LINCOLN A nonprofit group behind a handful of Nebraska ballot initiatives announced a campaign Tuesday to gather signatures for two new ones aimed at conservative election goals.
One would alter how the state awards Electoral College votes for president, giving all five to the winner of the popular vote statewide. The other would require elections in the state to be conducted exclusively using paper ballots counted by hand.
The group, Advocates for All Nebraskans, is now collecting signatures for five ballot initiatives. The group, headlined by former leaders of the Nebraska Republican Party, argues that the initiatives are about reclaiming the states voice and promoting government accountability.
This is not a partisan movement This is a populist movement, said Eric Underwood, the former chair of the Nebraska GOP who helped lead a populist takeover of the party in 2022. We exist because many of us grew tired of waiting for solutions from the traditional status quo elected officials or political consultants.
