(KLZA)--County election offices in Nebraska are mailing early voting ballots to voters who completed early voting applications and fulfilled the new voter ID requirement.

County election offices are reporting that the majority of voters are following the voter ID requirement. Voters have two options to fulfill the new voter ID requirement during the early voting application process: Voters can write their Nebraska driver- license or state ID number on their early voting application, or they can submit their early voting application with a photocopy of their acceptable ID.

Election workers are assisting voters who have not properly submitted their early voting applications.

Registered Nebraska voters can still request an early voting ballot by sending their early voting application to their county election office. October 25 is the last day a voter can request an early voting ballot be sent to them.

Early voting ballots are due back to the voter- respective county election office by the close of polls, which will be 8 p.m. Central Time on Election Day, November 5.

County election offices will not accept late ballots, even if the postmark date is before the election.

Voters must present an acceptable photo ID before voting. Acceptable IDs include, but are not limited to:

A Nebraska driver- license, a Nebraska state ID, a U.S. passport, a Military ID, a Tribal ID, Hospital, intermediate care facility, assisted-living facility or nursing home record, Nebraska political subdivision ID which includes a state, county, city, school, or a Nebraska college or university ID from a public or private college.

The ID must have the voter- name and photo. IDs can be expired. The new law does not require Nebraska voters to re-register to vote.

Nebraskans can get a free state ID from the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles. If the person was born in Nebraska and needs a free certified copy of their Nebraska birth certificate to get a free state ID, they can contact the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services. A birth certificate is not a valid form of voter ID.
