Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has announced that Georgia voters can now receive ballot tracking notifications on the My Voter Page. Voters are encouraged to request their Absentee-by-Mail ballots early through the MVP to utilize the tracking tool powered by Ballot Scout. This tool allows absentee voters to monitor the status of their ballot and feel confident that it will be received and accepted.

Georgia offers a minimum of 17 days of early in-person voting, along with election day, for voters to cast their ballots. If an absentee ballot is not accepted, voters can still vote in person. Most mail ballots were sent out by county election offices starting on October 7th.  Chattooga County voters began receiving those ballots in the mail last week.

Secretary Raffensperger emphasized the importance of protecting voters’ ballots and urged Georgians to utilize the ballot tracking notifications if they choose to vote by mail. Through the Absentee Ballot Portal on the My Voter Page, voters can subscribe to updates on their ballot status and select their preferred method of communication for receiving notifications.

This tracking tool is part of Secretary Raffensperger’s efforts to modernize Georgia’s election system, which includes measures like Photo ID requirements, early voting, paper ballots, and tools like the My Voter Page and Datahub for public access.
