LINCOLN— Nebraska's top state officials certified the results of the May 12 primary election on Monday, officially setting the November ballot and confirming that Secretary of State Bob Evnen will leave office in January after losing the Republican primary to Scott Petersen. Election officials described the primary as one of the smoothest elections in recent memory, with turnout reaching 28.5%.

State election officials reported only one minor ballot error in Washington County, which did not affect any race outcomes. A post-election hand count of 7,317 ballots across 40 randomly selected precincts found just three discrepancies, producing an error rate of 0.0004%. Officials said the results demonstrate Nebraska’s election system remains highly accurate and reliable ahead of the Nov. 3 general election.
