We hope you find these tools useful as we educate and empower voters for Election Day! | Are you familiar with BallotTrax? This program notifies voters by phone, email or text message about the status of their mailed ballot from when it gets sent to the voter to when it is received and accepted for counting. More than 1.6 million voters used BallotTrax in 2020 to follow their ballots. "This type of innovation ensures that our elections remain the country’s gold standard," Jena Griswold, Colorado Secretary of State, said.
