The United States Postal Service has a proud history of successfully handling Election Mail. Thanks to long-standing and effective processes and practices that involve every facet of our operation and every one of our 640,000 postal employees, the Postal Service is always ready and well-prepared to process, transport and deliver the nation’s Election Mail safely, securely, and on time. The upcoming 2024 general election will be no different.
Since 2022, I have led the Postal Service’s Election and Government Mail Services team, which was formed to permanently oversee our Election Mail efforts. We have formalized and centralized the proven strategies, policies and procedures that have maintained the Postal Service’s robust and effective service performance during previous election seasons.
My team and I strive to continually improve upon our successful handling of Election Mail, and we’ve created new resources for all employees — not just those processing and delivering mail — on how to identify Election Mail, especially mail-in ballots, and ensure its safe and timely passage through the postal network. We’ve also worked with union leaders to bring more employees into our already robust system of Election Mail oversight.
