N/A | Your ballot has not yet been received by your county’s Board of Elections. |
Received | Your ballot has been received by your county’s Board of Elections. The security envelope it was mailed in will be checked to make sure it has been signed. The signature will then be reviewed and compared to make sure that it matches the signature in your voting record.
After your ballot is checked it will either be cleared for counting or rejected (see below) A voter's ballot status on the Tracker will be updated to "Received" by each individual county. The amount of time it takes until updates are posted to the Track My Ballot tool will vary from county to county. Please check back periodically for updates to your ballot status. |
Rejected | Ballots can be rejected for a number of reasons, the most prevalent being a missing or non-matching signature. A missing or non-matching signature is the only reason, by law, that a ballot can be ’cured’ and then counted.
If your vote by mail ballot was missing your signature or the County Board of Elections has determined that your signature does not match the signature in your voting record, your county Board of Elections will provide you an opportunity to certify that you did, in fact, cast that ballot. That process takes the form of an email, phone call or letter to you from the County Board of Elections that will give you the opportunity to certify that you are voting. A voter's ballot status on the Tracker will be updated to "Rejected" by each individual county. The amount of time it takes until updates are posted to the Track My Ballot tool will vary from county to county. Please check back periodically for updates to your ballot status. |
Accepted | Certifies that your ballot has been counted.
A voter's ballot status on the Tracker will be updated to "Accepted" by each individual county. The amount of time it takes until updates are posted to the Track My Ballot tool will vary from county to county. Please check back periodically for updates to your ballot status. If you have questions about your ballot status, please call your County Election Officials. |
