Most U.S. states now offer online tracking for mail-in ballots

Most states in the U.S. now offer online tracking for mail-in ballots, allowing voters to confirm their ballots are received and counted. Only Illinois, Missouri, and Wyoming lack a statewide tracking system, though some local options exist. Recent incidents in Oregon and Washington, where ballot drop boxes were set on fire, have raised concerns about ballot security. Voters in affected areas are advised to contact local election offices for assistance, including replacement ballots. Voters in New York and Texas use separate tracking systems, while most other states have a single tracker. Provisional ballots may have limited tracking options, and in-person ballots are counted immediately on Election Day.
