Mail-in ballots for federal elections would get tracking barcodes and set designs.
This bill would make mail-in ballots for federal elections trackable with a Postal Service barcode, starting in 2026. It would also make sure these ballot envelopes follow specific design rules and show the Official Election Mail Logo. This aims to make mail-in voting clearer for voters.
Today, there are no federal rules requiring mail-in ballot envelopes to have a tracking barcode or specific designs. If this bill becomes law, all mail-in ballot envelopes for federal elections, starting in 2026, would need a Postal Service barcode for tracking. They would also need to meet certain design standards and include the Official Election Mail Logo.
