How it 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. This synergy offers both administrators and voters a detailed view and valuable updates on the progress of ballots as they navigate through the postal service and the election cycle.
Vote-by-Mail Tracking Transparency for Officials
Ballot Scout delivers a cost-effective and flexible system that effortlessly complements any established workflow. It features an intuitive administrative dashboard tailored for election officials, along with a sophisticated tracking service complete with notifications for voters. Our online platform harnesses the power of USPS Intelligent Mail barcode (IMB) scans and integrates them with data from election offices.
Flexible Notifications for Voters
Voters can easily opt-in for email or SMS text messages that update them with status alerts throughout the journey of their ballot from the post office to their local election office. Voters stay connected and informed, while the incoming call volume to election offices is reduced, granting more administrative freedom.

User-friendly interface for seeing the status overview of all tracked ballots, making it easy to quickly identify any delivery issues.
