U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has responded to warnings from state election officials regarding issues with election mail delivery during the primary season. DeJoy assured officials that the Postal Service is prepared to handle the influx of mail-in ballots expected for the upcoming November election.
DeJoy stated that most concerns raised by election officials have already been addressed, including problems with properly addressed election mail being returned and mail-in ballots arriving after election deadlines despite being postmarked on time. He emphasized that postal employees are undergoing enhanced training and that the Postal Service is in constant communication with election officials to rectify quality issues such as incorrect deliveries and returned mail.
