Slower USPS pickups and postmarks could delay voter registrations, mail ballot applications, and actual votes
Local election officials across the nation have started warning voters about changes to mail pickup policies that can delay the postmarking of mail-in ballots, putting them at risk of going uncounted.
The risk is particularly acute in states that allow grace periods for late-arriving ballots that were postmarked on or before Election Day, but the headaches caused by the new U.S. Postal Service (USPS) rules, which Democracy Docket reported on extensively in October, extend to every corner of the nation and begin well before Election Day.
“If you would have asked me two months ago, ‘Hey, Rebecca, as a national voting rights leader, what do you think is going to be the biggest threat or the biggest challenge in Americans attempting to vote in 2026?’ I would have told you, it’s likely going to be intimidation. We’re probably going to see federal agents, maybe ICE agents, showing up in or around polling locations,” said Rebekah Caruthers, president of the Fair Elections Center. “I think [mail voting] is what the issue is actually going to be, because we can’t just look at this new post office rule in a vacuum.”
USPS is in the process of eliminating evening mail pickups from post offices more than 50 miles away from a regional processing facility, which are located mostly in large metropolitan areas. The changes, already in effect for roughly 16% of the U.S. population, will mean mail will be postmarked and delivered at least one day later than before.
