CALIFORNIA'S BALLOT TRACKING SERVICE: WHO IS USING IT AND HOW DOES IT IMPACT VOTER CONFIDENCE AND BEHAVIOR?

NEW RELEASE!

Statewide ballot tracking was introduced to California voters in the 2020 election cycle. Available in all 58 counties, the BallotTrax tool sends updates via email, text, or voice message informing
registrants when their vote-by-mail ballot has been mailed to them, when it has been received by their county elections office, and the status of their ballot as it is processed. 

This new report from the USC Center for Inclusive Democracy examines who signed up for BallotTrax to track their vote-by-mail ballot, what their voting behaviors are, and what their preferences are when signed up for BallotTrax  . Findings improve the understanding of how BallotTrax may be influencing Californians’ interactions with the electoral process.
