The United States Postal Service has reported strong performance in handling election mail this month, delivering 99.9% of mail-in ballots to election officials within seven days and 99.7% within three days during the first three weeks of October. Despite this success, the Postal Service is advising voters to mail their ballots early to avoid any potential delivery delays.
To ensure timely delivery, USPS recommends that voters send their ballots at least one week before Election Day. In preparation for the upcoming election, the Postal Service has implemented various measures to address potential mail delays, such as additional deliveries and pickups, local handling and transportation of ballots, and specialized sorting plans for election mail at postal facilities.
