A first-of-its-kind tool that allows voters and election officials to track mail-in ballots.
Designed in collaboration with election offices nationwide, Ballot Scout adds transparency, accountability, and confidence to the mail-in voting process by ensuring each vote is tracked and counted.
Ballot Scout restores confidence and transparency to mail-in voting.
THE PROBLEM
With more and more voters casting their ballots by mail, election officials need best-in-class resources to track ballots in the USPS system. If ballots are lost or delayed, election officials may not find out until it’s too late.
OUR SOLUTION
Ballot Scout is the inexpensive, secure solution that allows voters and election admins to track ballots and solve any issues in real time. In 2021, we ensured 496,100 ballots were successfully tracked.
This is how Ballot Scout works.
Ballot Scout tracks mail-in ballots using USPS Intelligent Mail barcodes. The USPS scans these barcodes throughout each ballot’s journey and shares updates with Ballot Scout along the way.
- Election administrators can access that information and monitor all ballots via a secure dashboard.
- Voters can look up their ballot’s status through Ballot Scout’s voter-facing online tool, and sign up for status notifications via email and SMS.
A tool built for all voters.
