Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced Thursday that ballot tracking notifications are now available on the Georgia My Voter Page. Secretary Raffensperger urges Georgia voters opting to vote Absentee-by-Mail to request their ballots on MVP as early as possible. With the tracking tool powered by Ballot Scout, absentee voters can stay informed about the status of their ballot throughout the process and have more confidence in their vote being received and accepted. Georgians also have a minimum of 17 days of in person early voting, and election day, to cast their vote. Voters whose absentee ballot has not been accepted by the county elections office may still vote in person.

Mail ballots for most Georgia voters will be sent by county election offices beginning on October 7th.

"We’re doing everything we can to protect your vote," said Secretary Raffensperger. "Georgians, take advantage of ballot tracking if you choose to vote by mail.”

Voters can sign up for ballot tracking notifications through the Absentee Ballot Portal section of their My Voter Page (MVP) by clicking “Update My Preferences.” Voters have the option to subscribe to updates about their ballot status, and choose their preferred method of communication – text, email, or phone call. They can also specify when they would like to receive notifications.

This tracking tool is part of a series of initiatives spearheaded by Secretary Raffensperger to modernize Georgia’s election system. Since 2019, Secretary Raffensperger has introduced measures such as Photo ID for all forms of voting, a minimum of 17 days of early voting, the use of paper ballots for all forms of voting and required all counties to complete ballot processing and results reporting on election day. Additionally, he has launched tools like My Voter Page and Datahub for public access.
