LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - The general election is nearly a year and a half away, but some candidates for Nebraska Legislature are already jumping into the 2016 race to replace senators who are slated to leave office.
The Nebraska secretary of state's office says it's receiving "a handful of calls a week" from potential candidates asking about filing requirements, deadlines and fees.
The Nebraska Legislature will see another round of turnovers in the 2016 election, with 12 of its 49 seats opening because of term limits. Thirteen incumbents will have the chance to seek re-election.
Laura Strimple, a spokeswoman for the Nebraska secretary of state's office, says the earliest a candidate can officially file for office is Dec. 1.
