Three statewide questions will appear on general election ballots.
Two are on the ballot via the initiative petition process and one is a proposed constitutional amendment that was placed on the ballot by the Legislature.
One initiative would enact a law requiring Nebraskans show photo identification before voting and the other would raise the state's minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2026.
Both campaigns met the statutory requirements to qualify to go before voters Nov. 8. Voter ID was given the ballot No. 432, and the minimum wage question was given No. 433.
After nearly a decade of failing to advance a voter ID law out of the Legislature, the petition for the proposed constitutional amendment was signed by 172,000 Nebraskans, according to sponsor Sen. Julie Slama of Sterling.
As a proposed constitutional amendment, the petition needed about 124,000 signatures, equal to 10% of the registered voters in the state, including 5% of voters in at least 38 of Nebraska's 93 counties.
Secretary of State Bob Evnen's office said the voter ID petition submitted 136,458 valid signatures and met the requirement in 76 counties.
The measure has long been sought by Republican members of the Legislature but has failed to overcome a Democratic-led filibuster. Opponents have said a voter ID measure would make it harder for older, lower-income and non-white voters to cast a ballot.
