Nebraska is the only U.S. state with a compulsory election duty system, requiring registered voters to serve as poll workers, office helpers, and ballot deliverers. Those who ignore a summons may face misdemeanor charges and fines up to $100. Established since the 1950s, the system aims to enhance diversity and attract younger participants. Draftees, who must work four elections, earn a minimum wage of $12 per hour and receive exemptions for valid reasons.
