In an election filled with chatter alleging voter fraud and disenfranchisement, knowing if a ballot was officially counted or not can bring voters some much-needed peace of mind.

The Texas Secretary of State’s Office maintains public voter information that can help residents ensure their vote was counted. The process differs slightly for mail-in voters and those who placed their ballots in-person, but it’s still relatively straightforward for both groups.

The Texas Secretary of State generally uploads early voting and election day turnout the day after polls close. The only information voters need to check the status of a ballot cast during the early voting period is the date and location where they voted.

On Texas’ early voting page, select the Nov. 5 General Election and navigate to the early voting turnout by date dropdown menu. Selecting a date will automatically download a list of all the voters who cast votes that day.

The Texas Secretary of State’s Ballot Tracker allows voters to track their mail-in ballots with just their name, date of birth, social security number and driver’s license number.
