NORFOLK, Neb. -- With Tuesday being election day for the state of Nebraska, some minor differences make the voting process slightly different for citizens.

This is the first year the new Voter ID Law will be implemented. People are now required to show a form of identification to verify themselves before heading to the polls.

Because of the shake up in the process, officials are rather pleased at how smooth things have gone so far.

Secretary Bob Evnen sent out a press release Tuesday morning with estimates of voter turnout. Projections reached around the 35% mark for the primary elections.

Evnen believes that just because ID's are now required, he doesn't believe this will effect the amount of voters on Nebraska on Tuesday.

"I do not think it is going to have any impact in turnout," Evnen said. "It isn't going to disenfranchise voters, people are aware of the requirement. 97% - 98% of our registered voters possess a state issued photo ID issued by the DMV. And there are a number of other alternative for people who don't possess that. So, I don't see that it is having any impact at all in turnout."

"I was pleasantly surprised of the number of people that automatically walked up to the clerks at that location and would present their ID's without any questions," Madison County Clerk Anne Pruss said.

The 35% reached by Evnen's office is a culmination of many different numbers including early voter requests, returns and certain types of elections.

They also looked at polls from the past and argue that numbers have stayed relatively the same, despite the new Voter ID Law.
