Reader Question: Tracking Your Ballot

Corey Redmond from Austin, Texas: Can we get a FiveThirtyEight-made investigation into which places allow you to track/verify your vote across the U.S.?

Assuming you’re referring to mail votes, sure thing! At least 44 states plus Washington, D.C., now have online portals where you can track your absentee ballot. Unfortunately, though, Corey, your home state of Texas is one of the exceptions! The rest of you can find a link to your state’s portal by heading to our “How To Vote In 2020” page, clicking on your state and checking under the “Submitting an absentee ballot” section.
