Use absentee ballot tracking.
Michigan Clerks are facing ever increasing numbers of absentee ballots. Even after the primary election of 2020, the volume of mail-in votes continues to increase. As Clerks this volume can be difficult to manage and knowing where the AV ballots are in the US Postal stream is critical. Not just for election integrity, but also for staffing requirements and accountability.
TrackMIBallot is the only end-to-end election mail tracking system available today. It was designed to help Michigan run the safest, most transparent absent voter election in history. It allows election officials to track every piece of mail from the voter and back again with a real-time tracking. With this type of visibility, you as the election official can see the ballot on the way to the voter, when it was delivered at the residence, and when it is on its way back to you. All information you can easily share with the voter.
