Referendum 426 repeals the death penalty and replaces it with life imprisonment without possibility of parole. The measure is on the ballot after the Nebraska State Senate passed a law banning the death penalty in 2015. Governor Pete Ricketts vetoed the bill.

Proponents argue that the death penalty is a necessary punishment for heinous murderers.
