The Postal Service is moving forward with changing the regulations governing mail-in and absentee ballots in federal elections, even as the proposed rule remains tied up in litigation.
In a Federal Register notice on July 17, the Postal Service proposes creating a new Privacy Act System of Records (SOR) (2026-14508; 91 FR 44880). The notice coincides with the proposed ballot-mail rule it published on June 2.
The notice was not a surprise. Back on June 18, Democracy Docket reported that the Postal Service had provided advance notice of the SORN to two congressional committees and the Office of Management and Budget. The article indicated that the Postal Service would next send the notice to the Federal Register for publication.
