Nebraska ballot measures, 2015–2026
Statewide initiative and referendum measures with the ballot question committees (BQCs) registered with the Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Commission (NADC). "Support" and "oppose" are relative to a yes vote on the measure as worded on the ballot. Totals are all receipts reported by each committee across 2015–2026 (monetary, in-kind and loans), as reported; committees can raise money in years before the vote.
