Candidates in Nebraska are conducting final get-out-the-vote efforts ahead of Election Day on Tuesday.

Campaigns in Nebraska are conducting a final push this weekend ahead of Election Day on Tuesday, with volunteers knocking on doors to reach last-minute voters. The focus is on mobilising supporters to cast ballots on the final day of campaigning.

Union members gathered at a training hall in Omaha on Saturday morning to support independent Senate candidate Dan Osborn. Mike Gage, Nebraska AFL-CIO president, said workers needed to make choices 'based on economic survival' as 'things are more expensive'. Osborn told supporters he could be an asset as a politician because he knows 'what it's like to live paycheck to paycheck'. His opponent, Republican Pete Ricketts, has campaigned on boosting agriculture and border security, with Vice President JD Vance amplifying those points last week.

Democrats Denise Powell and Lynne Walz also rallied volunteers in Omaha. Powell spent Sunday knocking on doors in South Omaha, with her campaign holding eight canvass events that day. She said voters were frustrated and struggling, raising concerns about 'groceries and gas and housing and healthcare'. Her team planned to continue knocking on doors until 8 p.m. on Tuesday.

Republican Brinker Harding, seeking to replace outgoing U.S. Representative Don Bacon in Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District, spoke at a Sunday afternoon event in Elkhorn about efforts to keep the district 'red', with one full day of campaigning remaining on Monday.
