Vote by Mail Tracking Act

This bill would bar any government entity from sending out a ballot envelope to be carried by mail unless the envelope has a Postal Service barcode that allows each individual ballot to be tracked. The envelope would also have to meet Postal Service rules for ballot envelope design and machine-readable letters, and carry the Official Election Mail Logo. Federal write-in absentee ballots used by military and overseas voters would be exempt. By June 1 of each year, the Postmaster General would have to give election offices the information needed to comply, including how to use Postal Service barcode tools. The rules would apply to federal elections starting in 2026.
