A campaign to add online sports betting to Nebraska’s 2026 General Election ballot has received more than 350,000 signatures via two petitions, meeting the minimum threshold required to appear on the ballot.
According to Nebraska Public Media, organizer Tax Relief Nebraska garnered more than 201,000 signatures on one petition that would change the state’s constitutional amendment to legalize sports betting. Another petition by the same group, which would create a regulatory framework for online sports betting and direct 70% of tax proceeds to property relief, received 146,000 signatures.
Both petitions, which were filed on 9 January, were approved for circulation in February and handed in nearly a week before their 2 July deadline.
