Can you stop the inflow of campaign fliers to your mailbox?

(NEXSTAR) — Election season is upon us once again, and with it: a plethora of campaign yard signs and TV ads, political text messages, and fliers of varying sizes stuffed in your mailbox.

You can overlook the yard placards, mute the commercials, and stop the texts (at least most of them), but can you do anything about the handful of campaign mailers filling your mailbox?

It’s not a far-fetched question, considering you can stop other forms of junk mail.

The Federal Trade Commission says you can decide what types you would like to receive from marketers by registering with the Direct Marketing Association. That organization warns, however, that it does not apply when it comes to mail from political organizations.
