Following is a table of United States presidential elections in Nebraska, ordered by year. Since its admission to statehood in 1867, Nebraska has participated in every U.S. presidential election. Since 1992 Nebraska awards two electoral votes based on the statewide vote, and one vote for each of the three congressional districts.[1] [2] The only other state to allow for split electoral college votes is Maine.[3]
In 2024 there was a push from some Republicans who attempted to get rid of split electoral college votes to replace it with Winner-takes-all voting.[4] [5] [6]
Winners of the state are in bold. The shading refers to the state winner, and not the national winner.
