URGENT: Check Your Ballot Status in Arizona, Nevada, and Georgia

With races in Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Georgia likely to be decided by razor-thin margins, it's essential for voters in these key states to check their ballots as soon as possible.

If you're a voter in one of these states whose ballot has been rejected for a missing signature or a mismatch with your signature on file, you still have time to correct the issue—but you need to act soon!

Here's what to do in each of these battleground states:

ARIZONA

• Track your ballot's status to see if it's been accepted.
• If it hasn't been accepted, contact your local election office to correct the issue.
• You have until five days after Election Day to fix any issues with your ballot.

NEVADA

• Track your ballot's status to see if it's been accepted.
• If it hasn't been accepted, contact your county clerk to correct the issue.
• You have until seven days after Election Day to fix any issues with your ballot.

GEORGIA

• Track your ballot's status to see if it's been accepted.
• If it hasn't been accepted, contact your local county election office or the Georgia provisional ballot resource hotline (888-730-5816) for help correcting the issue.
• You have until three days after Election Day to fix any issues with your ballot.
