Nebraskans passed medical marijuana legalization, solidified the state’s 12-week abortion ban in the constitution, implemented paid sick leave for workers, and repealed a voucher program for private schools on Election Day.
While the Cornhusker state joined a few other states in passing paid sick leave for workers, a measure expanding abortion rights was not as successful as it was in other states, including Arizona and Missouri.
Here’s how Nebraskans voted on six separate ballot measures this election year.
12-week abortion ban solidified in state constitution
On Tuesday, Nebraskans voted on two abortion-related ballot measures. One would add the right to access abortions to the state constitution, and the other would enshrine the state’s current 12-week ban – with exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother – in the constitution.
