## Caption

A requirement that Nebraskans must show a photo ID in order to vote appeared headed to the Nov. 8 general election ballot on July 7 after supporters turned in petitions with 172,000 signatures gathered in all 93 counties across the state.⁠
⁠
The voter ID measure was one of two initiative petition efforts that claimed they met the legal requirement and the July 7 deadline for November's ballot.⁠
⁠
Raise the Wage Nebraska also said it had gathered enough signatures for Nebraskans to vote on whether the state should raise its minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2026.⁠
⁠
The voter ID proposal long championed by the Republican Party appears certain to meet the threshold of at least 124,000 valid signatures scattered to include at least 5% of the voters in 38 counties.⁠
⁠
Democrats have argued the measure creates an unnecessary burden for elderly, low-income and non-white voters when there is no evidence of voter fraud in Nebraska.⁠
