USPS New Link – 3\/20\/23 – The Postal Service recently earned the Public Service Award for its Election Mail program from the nonpartisan Election Verification Network.<\/p>\n
The award is given annually to a public official or government unit for protecting and promoting election integrity.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis award is further confirmation of the Postal Service\u2019s deep commitment and great success in delivering the nation\u2019s ballots securely and on time,\u201d said Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. \u201cWe take pride in the role our organization plays in the election process. The American people can continue to feel confident in using the U.S. Mail to fulfill their democratic duty.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Election Verification Network comprises election officials, researchers and advocates focused on secure, transparent and verifiable elections.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe award is additional recognition of the Postal Service\u2019s successful processing and delivery of Election Mail, which has grown exponentially in recent years,\u201d said Adrienne Marshall, the organization\u2019s director of election and government mail services.<\/p>\n
In 2022, USPS formed the Election and Government Mail Services Team to focus year-round on the timely and secure delivery of Election Mail as interest and use of mail-in voting continues to grow.<\/p>\n
Amber McReynolds, a member of the Postal Service Board of Governors, nominated the Postal Service for the award.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no other entity in the country that serves every single community in the United States, delivers to every voter and serves every election office as the USPS does,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd USPS has a vital role in the election process \u2014 not only for delivering ballot mail but also for polling place notifications, voter registration mailings, election education mailings, and USPS processes over 40 million changes of address through its website each year.\u201d<\/p>\n
