Voting Group Says It Is No Longer Allowed To Leave Voter Registration Cards In Post Offices

[TexasTowelie]

Officials with the nonpartisan League of Women Voters of Texas say their volunteers are no longer allowed to leave voter registration forms at U.S. post offices.

Grace Chimene, the group's president, said volunteers have been turned away in the past week while trying to drop off basic voter materials. She said it started late last week when she heard from a volunteer in Waller County.

"He was very frustrated," she said. "He did talk to the [staff] and found out that there was some directive that came down that said that they were not allowed to have voter registration forms in the post office."

A spokesperson for the USPS said in a statement there hasn't been any rule change.

registration is a state responsibility, but this seems a little extreme.

Here in NY, we can get forms at Motor Vehicle and various county offices. Also candidate and party offices.
