Nebraska voters will consider a pair of questions about legalizing marijuana for medicinal use in the state as the state investigates the validity of the collected signatures that put them on the ballot.

On Sept. 13, the state’s deadline to certify ballot measures, Nebraska Secretary of State Bob Evnen announced that he certified two initiatives—the Medical Cannabis Regulation and the Medical Cannabis Patient Protection—to appear on the Nov. 5 ballot. Possessing marijuana is currently illegal in the Cornhusker State.
