Since I have never heard of the envelope for a mail-in ballot identifying the voter's party or other personal information, in any state, I looked it up. Here's what I found.

Ballot envelope barcodes showing party affiliation were for primary only


"CLAIM: Vote-by-mail ballot envelopes have barcodes that reveal what party you are registered with.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: Missing context. Envelopes for mail-in ballots from the Aug. 18 primary in Palm Beach County, Florida, did identify whether the voter was a registered Republican or Democrat, but this will not be the case for envelopes used in the Nov. 3 general election.."
