EPIC Option (EPICoption.info) has announced the launch of a statewide donation campaign to support efforts to place a proposed constitutional amendment on the 2026 Nebraska ballot.
The grassroots petition initiative is focused on giving Nebraskans the opportunity to vote on potential changes to the state’s tax structure. The proposed amendment would eliminate property taxes, as well as personal and corporate income taxes and inheritance taxes, if approved by voters.
Campaign leaders note that property valuations in some areas of Nebraska have increased significantly in recent years, creating financial challenges for many property owners. To help accelerate the signature-gathering process required for ballot placement, EPIC Option is encouraging supporters to donate a portion of what they currently pay in property taxes. Funds raised will be used to hire Nebraska workers to assist with signature collection and statewide outreach.
The organization is currently operated by unpaid volunteers and has established a fundraising goal of $2 million to support petition circulation and operational efforts.
