Nebraska Board of State Canvassers set to certify primary election results

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — Members of the Nebraska Board of State Canvassers are set to convene in June to certify the results of the 2026 Primary Election.
On June 8, members of the board will meet at 10 a.m. in the Governor’s Hearing Room at the State Capitol in Lincoln.
The board includes Gov. Jim Pillen, Secretary of State Bob Evnen, Attorney General Mike Hilgers, State Treasurer Joey Spellerberg and Auditor of Public Accounts Mike Foley.

According to the State of Nebraska, the board is required by law to certify the election results before they become final.
The canvass process allows county election officials to account for every ballot cast and ensure each valid vote is included in the official results.
No automatic recounts are anticipated for any statewide races.
However, if the certification were to prompt an automatic recount in any statewide race, a recount will occur on June 10.
In that event, a second meeting of the Nebraska Board of State Canvassers is scheduled for June 15 at 10:00 a.m. in the same location.
A copy of the agenda can be found on the Secretary of State’s website.
