Vote by Mail Tracking Act

Vote by Mail Tracking Act

This bill requires mail-in ballots to (1) contain a U.S. Postal Service (USPS) barcode that enables tracking of each individual ballot, (2) satisfy USPS requirements for ballot envelope design and machinable letters, and (3) include the official election mail logo.

Bill 118 hr 5658, also known as the Vote by Mail Tracking Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to establish a system for tracking mail-in ballots in federal elections.

The bill requires states to implement a system that allows voters to track the status of their mail-in ballot, from the time it is sent out to when it is received and counted. This tracking system would provide voters with peace of mind and ensure transparency in the voting process.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for states to report data on mail-in ballots, such as the number of ballots requested, returned, and rejected. This data would be used to identify any issues or discrepancies in the mail-in voting process and help improve election integrity. Overall, the Vote by Mail Tracking Act aims to enhance the security and efficiency of mail-in voting in federal elections by implementing a tracking system and requiring states to report data on mail-in ballots.
