Proposal to revise militia constitutional language passed

The measure would update the constitutional wording on the militia without substantive changes while opponents warn it would alter current language in Iowa.

Proposed Amendments No 15 A Vote For Election Provisions

Proposed Amendments No 15 outlines changes to Nebraska elections. It would remove the six months residency requirement for electors and let the Legislature set residency standards. It would drop the military duty exemption on election day and authorize voting machines or methods beyond paper ballots. It would repeal the provision excluding armed forces members stationed in Nebraska from residents status. The measure aims to keep current Article VI provisions. It opposes constitutional amendments changing residency, military duty exemptions, or permitting other voting methods.

Amendment No 16 for public school funds parochial use

Voters decide on Amendment No 16 to allow state receipt of federal funds for services to students in parochial and private schools under federal grants while prohibiting matching of such funds with public money. The alternative would keep the current ban on federal funds for grant programs and restrict state funds to be only for schools owned or controlled by government entities.
