LINCOLN — Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana (NMM), the ballot committee leading the effort to put the legalization of medical cannabis before voters in November 2024, announced today that they are awaiting an official certification from the Secretary of State, but are confident that this decision will reflect his prior statement given on August 30, 2024.
Crista Eggers, NMM’s Campaign Manager, said, “Today marks a momentous day for the patients of Nebraska, who are one step closer to safe and regulated medical cannabis access. We are grateful for all of the Nebraskans who have not only supported us, but been the heart and soul of this fight. We look forward to November when the people’s voice on this issue will finally be heard.
In light of a press conference held by the Attorney General earlier today, it is important to reiterate that NMM provides extensive training to all petition circulators. Circulators are held to an extremely high standard and are required to strictly follow all legal requirements for collecting signatures. Any circulators caught violating the law should be held accountable for their actions.
We are grateful to the Hall County Attorney and Attorney General for looking into any petition irregularities and working to protect campaigns and the integrity of the initiative process.
