If you’re like most Americans, you’re seriously considering voting by absentee ballot.

Absentee voting, whether you live in the U.S. or are one of the millions of overseas voters, offers you the convenience of selecting candidates for office at the time of your choosing: after work, around the table with your family, or from your couch. No need to wait in line, and no time limits (as you might experience on Election Day or during early voting) as long as you mail in or place your voted ballot in a drop box by the deadline.

But then - you may wonder, "where's my ballot"? Almost all states have some form of ballot tracking. There are a couple that don’t have state-wide ballot tracking, but they may still offer ballot tracking at the county level.
