As Christian citizens living in a democracy, we have the responsibility to be well-informed and elect leaders who support Biblical principles. We have the opportunity to do this in the Lincoln and Omaha municipal elections this spring.
Please vote in the Lincoln and Omaha Primary Elections this Tuesday, April 6th, and mark your calendar to vote in the General Election.
The City of Lincoln will hold a General Election on Tuesday, May 4th, and the Omaha General Election is scheduled for Tuesday, May 11th.
Local elections matter, and the candidates that advance will make important decisions regarding your neighborhood, your children’s school, and your family in the coming years.
Our vision is to see Nebraska become a state where God is honored, marriages and families thrive, life is cherished and protected, and religious liberty flourishes, and that vision begins with your community.
To help Lincoln and Omaha residents maximize their votes, Nebraska Family Alliance put together an election resource center.
Scroll down to learn which candidates you’ll find on the ballot and look up your polling place. The polls will be open from 8 AM to 8 PM on Election Day. Vote your values, pray God-honoring candidates advance, and share our election resources with your friends and family!
