Why there are no scores here

The Nebraska Legislature doesn't have enough members from both major parties to set which end of the scale is liberal and which is conservative (for example, a nonpartisan or one-party body). Scores are calculated by comparing how members vote relative to the two parties, so they can't be placed on a left–right scale here.

How scores work →

Not ranked: too few members of both major parties to orient a left–right scale. 1772 roll calls (658 contested, used for scores), 2025-01-29 to 2026-04-17; sessions: 109th Legislature (2025-2026)
