The 2024 United States Senate special election in Nebraska will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect the Class 2 member of the United States Senate from Nebraska, to complete the term of Ben Sasse, who resigned on January 8, 2023, to become the president of the University of Florida.[1] On January 12, 2023, governor Jim Pillen appointed Republican former governor Pete Ricketts to fill the seat for the remainder of the 118th United States Congress and the beginning of the 119th Congress.[2] Ricketts has committed to running in the special election and for a full term in 2026.[3] This marks the first time since 1954 where both of Nebraska's U.S. Senate seats were concurrently for election. Primary elections will take place on May 14, 2024.[4]
