H.R. 7265, Vote By Mail Tracking Act: Introduced by Representative Pete Sessions (R-Texas) and Representative Kweisi Mfume (D-M.D.), the bill amends Title 39 of the U.S. Code (Postal Service) to require ballots mailed within the United States for all federal elections be mailed in an envelope with a unique Postal Service barcode that allows the Postal Service to track the ballot through the mail.
“Every American citizen who votes deserves to know that their vote has been counted and their voice has been heard. This bill, the Vote by Mail Tracking Act, would ensure this is the case. Do not get me wrong, I encourage every citizen who wishes to vote in-person on Election Day to do so. But many people choose to vote by mail—that is a reality we must recognize. We must take our election security seriously and account for the fact that a significant number of Americans choose to cast their ballot by mail. This bill is a commonsense, bipartisan response to rising levels of mail-in voting nationwide,” said Chairman Comer.
