Also on every Dawes County ballot: U.S. Senate, Governor, the other statewide offices, your U.S. House district, your nonpartisan Legislature district, the University Board of Regents and State Board of Education districts, judicial retention and any statewide measures.

Party labels are as listed by Ballotpedia (R = Republican, D = Democrat). Nebraska county offices are partisan; school, city, village, natural resources district and judicial retention races are nonpartisan.
