No matter how you voted this year, you want to ensure your vote was counted, right? I mean, what’s the point in voting if it doesn’t count?
Well, there is a way you can check!
Here’s how you track your mail-in and in-person vote…
How to Track That Your Vote Was Counted
Tracking your ballot is quite easy. It just relies on two things: 1. having the unique serial number or information of your ballot and 2. ensuring your state participates in tracking.
Most states, with the help of USPS, send ballots in envelopes with a unique set of numbers for each individual voter. Those numbers are often known as Intelligent Mail Barcodes, which allow the Postal Service to track the ballot.
If you voted in person, you will just need a few pieces of information such as your name, birthdate and zip code.
For some states, in order to track your ballot, you must register to do so.
So, once you have the necessary information, you’ll want to register with your state in order to track your ballot. There is a list of states that allow ballot tracking below.
