Why can't I track my ballot?

I voted by mail last week in Hamilton Co. Been trying to track my ballot several times a day, but when I enter my info and press submit, nothing happens. Anyone else having this problem?

Once I type in my name mine comes up.

Suggestion. Do you have the envelope your ballot came in? The info is on the outside.

Hope you are able to figure it out. If you go to your local post office they can look it up for you

There's always a line of cars to drop off ballots at the Board of Elections down in Norwood. Streets down there aren't sized for this kind of traffic.

Park over in the Tri-Health corporate offices parking lot and walk over. 2-3 minutes walk and easy in/out from the parking lot.

Try using a different browser.

Sometimes the browser is the problem with submitted forms.

Chrome, Firefox, Edge - all say site owner is preventing access. I will definitely be calling Board of Elections tomorrow.

I live in a different Ohio county and it worked for me. When I first used my middle name or just my initial, it wouldn't work although my full name was listed on ballot and on website. Not all counties use the same software, so if that doesn't work, it's probably an issue with Hamilton. Hope this helps. Good Luck!
