How do i know my mail in ballot was received

In the United States, there are a few ways to confirm that your mail-in ballot has been received:

  2. Track your ballot: Some states and counties offer online tracking systems that allow you to track the status of your ballot. You can check the website of your local election office or secretary of state's office to see if they offer this service.
  3. Check your voter registration status: You can also check your voter registration status online to see if your ballot has been received and processed. You can do this by visiting the website of your state's election office or secretary of state's office.
