Municipal voters can now track ballots with BallotTrax

The Municipal Clerk's Election Team announced today the launch of BallotTrax — a system that allows Municipality of Anchorage voters to get updates on the status of their ballots. The new system allows voters to receive email, text messages, phone call alerts, or any combination of the three, about the status of their ballots as they navigate the mail service.

According to a press release issued today by Municipal Clerk Barbara Jones, notifications will be sent to voters who sign up:

• when the ballot package is mailed,
• when the ballot return envelope is mailed back (if using USPS),
• when MOA Elections receives the ballot return envelope through the mail, from a secure dropbox, vote center, and
• if the ballot return envelope is "good" and accepted for counting, or if there is an issue to be resolved.

The April 5, 2022, Regular Municipal Election is a Vote at Home election where qualified registered voters will be mailed a ballot package at least 21 days before Election Day. Voters will have the opportunity to study the ballot with trusted resources, mark their choices, read and sign the voter declaration, and return their ballot by placing it in one of 18 secure drop boxes, bringing it to an Anchorage Vote Center, or sending it through the US Mail with first-class postage, according to today's press release.

Individuals can sign up for the free BallotTrax service at this link.

Voters can contact the Voter Hotline at 907-243-(VOTE) 8683 for more information or questions about BallotTrax or the April 5, 2022, Regular Municipal Election.
