Five candidates for U.S. president, along with their respective vicepresidential candidate, will be listed on Nebraska’s November general election ballot. The candidates have either been nominated by their respective party or have completed statewide petitions to appear on the ballot.
Candidates for U.S. President
Donald J. Trump President (Republican Party); JD Vance Vice President Kamala D. Harris President (Democratic Party); Tim Walz Vice President Chase Oliver President (Libertarian Party); Mike ter Maat Vice President Cornel West President (Legal Marijuana NOW Party); Melina Abdullah Vice President Jill Stein President (By Petition); Samson Kpadenou Vice President Aug. 1 was the deadline for nonpartisan presidential candidates to file for the general election by filing with the Secretary of State an application
and a petition signed by at least 2,500 registered voters.
Sept. 9 was the deadline for national political party convention officers to certify to the Secretary of State which candidates for president and vice president are to be voted upon.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. successfully petitioned onto the ballot, but on Sept. 9, 2024, he withdrew his name from the ballot. Shiva Ayyadurai collected enough signatures to appear on the ballot; however, his filing was rejected because he is undisputedly not a natural-born citizen – a requirement to be President of the United States pursuant to Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution.
The Secretary of State must certify candidates and ballot measures on or before Sept. 13.
