Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein submitted three times the number of required signatures Monday for her to appear on the Nebraska ballot.

Counties must verify that the signatures are from registered Nebraska voters before placing her on the ballot, said Laura Strimple, communications director for the Secretary of State’s Office.

Stein’s staff and volunteers collected 7,656 signatures. A total of 2,500 verified signatures are needed.

If Stein is successful, she would join Democrat Hillary Clinton, Republican Donald Trump and Libertarian Gary Johnson on the ballot. The Marijuana Party of Nebraska also is seeking a spot.

Stein wouldn’t be identified on the ballot as a member of the Green Party because Nebraska doesn’t recognize the party.

She is expected to be nominated at the party’s convention in Houston, which began Thursday and runs through Sunday. Her running mate is human rights activist Ajamu Baraka.

The Green Party’s Nebraska coordinator, Jen Hansen, said she, staff and volunteers spent about three weeks collecting signatures.

Strimple said she expects the counties to work quickly, although she didn’t have a timetable as to when they’d finish verifying results. The counties would have 10 days to verify the signatures if Stein was on the ballot as a member of a state-recognized party, Strimple said. However, she said, there isn’t a statute specifying a verification deadline for unaffiliated candidates.
