Nebraska's congressional districts

Nebraska's congressional districts since 2013^[1]

Nebraska has three congressional districts due to its population, each of which elects a member to the United States House of Representatives.

Census Bureau population growth estimates indicated that Nebraska may lose its third District seat after the 2020 census.

Unlike every other US State except for Maine, Nebraska apportions its Electoral College votes according to congressional district, making each district its own separate battleground in US presidential elections.
