WASHINGTON — The United States Postal Service is committed to the secure, timely delivery of the nation’s Election Mail. In 2024, just as in previous elections, the Postal Service is processing, transporting, and delivering the nation’s Election Mail when American citizens choose to utilize the mail to participate in an election. The Postal Service has released a short video that can help them find the starting point in the process. The new video for voting customers, along with a new video for election officials, can be found here: https://www.usps.com/electionmail.
“Our message to the public is simple. If you are planning to use the U.S. Mail to cast your ballot in November, please plan to mail early,” said Postmaster General and CEO Louis DeJoy.
The Postal Service has the operational capacity to deliver the nation’s ballots in the final weeks of the election. In 2020, ballots accounted for just 0.11% of the Postal Service’s total mail volume.
The Postal Service’s common-sense voter recommendation remains that domestic voters should mail their completed ballot before Election Day, and at least one week prior to the deadline by which their completed ballot must be received by their local election official. All voters should check their state’s deadlines, links to which are also available at https://www.usps.com/electionmail.
