ABSTRACT:
A method of enabling a voter to verify that a ballot has been received and counted as intended in a vote by mail election that includes receiving the ballot from the voter in the mail, generating a vote verification mechanism for the voter, obtaining the voter's votes from the ballot and counting the votes in the election. The method further includes storing voter vote information including the voter's votes that were counted in the election, providing to the voter the vote verification mechanism and an acknowledgment that the ballot has been received and counted, and, after the election has been closed, receiving the vote verification mechanism from the voter, obtaining the voter vote information from storage using the vote verification mechanism, and displaying the voter vote information for the voter so that the voter can verify that his or her votes have in fact been counted as intended.
