Plain-English Summary

The bill would require states to establish systems that allow voters to track their mail-in ballots from the time they're mailed out until they're counted, similar to how you can track a package online. This would give voters peace of mind by letting them confirm their ballot was received and counted, while also helping election officials identify any lost or delayed ballots. The measure affects all states that offer mail-in voting and aims to increase transparency and confidence in the voting process.
