Earlier this week, the Campaign Legal Center and Democracy Defenders Fund, on behalf of League of United Latin American Citizens, Secure Families Initiative, Arizona Students’ Association, and City of Madison, Wisconsin, filed a complaint with the Postal Regulatory Commission arguing that the Postal Service failed to request an advisory opinion for its proposed rule change on ballot mail for federal elections.
The complaint claims that the proposed rule violates the advisory opinion statute, 39 U.S.C. § 3661(b), which states that the Postal Service must request a PRC advisory opinion when it plans to implement a significant nationwide change in the nature of postal services. According to the complaint, the ballot mail rule clearly represents such a change.
