if you voted by mail-in ballot in PA, MI, WI, NV, NC, and GA:

you can check the status of your ballot online by entering the information associated with your voter registration to check if your ballot was accepted. 

pennsylvania voters: check the status of your ballot here

michigan voters: check the status of your ballot here

wisconsin voters: check the status of your ballot here

nevada voters: check the status of your ballot here

north carolina voters: check the status of your ballot here

georgia voters: check the status (how to) of your ballot here

it is vital to the success of this election that you check to see if your vote was accepted, and especially important since it has come down to these six states. please take a few seconds to follow up to make sure your vote was counted! 

every state will look different, but for example:

this is what it will say on pennsylvania’s ballot status site if your vote has been recorded. if the site does not indicate that your vote has been recorded, please consider following up with a phone call to your county election office or whoever your state dedicates to these issues. if not, keep checking periodically throughout the week to make sure your vote was recorded. 

this is so important. there is a lot at stake here. so many people are vulnerable. we need to make sure every. single. vote. is counted to ensure a fair election. your vote matters! please don’t let it stop at just casting the vote, make sure it’s been recorded.
