flag Nebraska voters may soon decide to raise the threshold to change laws from two-thirds to 40 out of 49.

flag Nebraskans are considering a ballot initiative, Respect Nebraska Voters, which would require a 40-out-of-49 supermajority to change laws passed by voters, raising the bar from two-thirds. flag Supporters say lawmakers have weakened voter-approved measures on issues like minimum wage and sick leave, undermining direct democracy. flag Critics, including Sen. Danielle Conrad, argue existing tools like elections and referendums are sufficient, warning the change could block needed fixes to laws, such as voter ID, and lead to legal challenges. flag The measure is under review and could appear on the 2026 ballot if it qualifies.
