Notes
- ^ In Nebraska, a two-thirds vote of all members is required to overcome a filibuster. Thus, 33 votes are required to hold a filibuster-proof majority.[1]
- ^ Although Nebraska's legislature is unicameral, the officeholders are called Senators.
- ^ The odd-numbered districts were elected in 2020 and will be up for election again in 2024.
