Streamlining Election Mail Delivery and Penalties for Date Forgery.
New rules aim to speed up and simplify the delivery of election mail, such as ballots and voter registration forms. The Postal Service will prioritize election mail, even if postage is insufficient. Stricter penalties for forging postmark dates on ballots have also been introduced.
