LB 105 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Change procedures for voting or election precincts for public power districts

LB 105 modifies voting procedures for Nebraska public power districts by eliminating the need for Secretary of State approval when dividing voting precincts to establish district boundaries. It allows districts to use whole or divided precincts (instead of population-based divisions) for defining operating areas and elections, particularly benefiting rural customers. The bill also updates rules for retail customers living outside a district's official boundaries but receiving power from it, enabling them to request voting rights on the district board if they meet specific notice and residency requirements. These changes apply directly to public power districts and their customers, streamlining boundary adjustments and voting access without altering eligibility criteria.
