Source: Ballotpedia, Johnson County, Nebraska, elections, 2026 (secondary source, not the official ballot) (accessed Oct 19, 2026). Names are shown as listed by the source. Which district races you see depends on where you live; check yours at Nebraska VoterView (Secretary of State).

Also on every Johnson 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. Party nominees were chosen in the May 12 primary; only races on the Nov 3 ballot are listed.
