Improving Mail Voting: Free Postage, Ballot Tracking, and Standardized Deadlines.
This law significantly improves the reliability and transparency of voting by mail for Federal elections. Citizens will benefit from free postage for returning completed ballots and new tracking capabilities to monitor their ballot's journey. It also standardizes deadlines, ensuring ballots mailed by Election Day are counted if received within seven days.
Key points
Completed mail-in ballots can be returned free of charge (no postage required).
States must use intelligent mail barcodes, allowing voters to track their ballot status online.
Ballots mailed on or before Election Day must be counted if received up to 7 days later.
The Postal Service must process ballots on the same day they arrive at a facility, whenever possible, and cannot make major operational changes 120 days before an election.
