More than 10% of Nebraska’s registered voters signed a petition this year in support of a constitutional amendment that would make it more difficult for the Legislature to make changes to voter-enacted laws.

Because of a single sentence in the Nebraska Constitution known as the single-subject rule, Nebraskans won’t be able to vote on that amendment in November.

The single-subject rule has been a thorn in the side of Nebraska campaigns to get citizen-initiated statutes and constitutional amendments since it was added to the state constitution in 1998. Like the Respect Nebraska Voters campaign this year, the first attempt by voters to legalize medical marijuana in 2020 was disqualified from the ballot after the Nebraska Supreme Court found that it contained more than one subject.
