2022 Nebraska Primary Unofficial Results<\/strong><\/p>\n

In exciting fashion, the Nebraska 2022 Primary Election came and went, but it was just the beginning, teeing up the rest of the campaign season. Overall, incumbents did well, and in open-seat state legislative races, it was generally close between the top two contenders.<\/p>\n

Total turnout was approximately 32%. This was just under what was expected, but high compared to historic mid-term elections<\/strong><\/a>. Many rural Nebraska counties still dominated in that category. The largest number of votes cast lines up closely with population demographics across Nebraska, with Douglas County at 101,373 votes cast and McPherson bringing in the lowest number at 167.<\/p>\n
