\u201cOur message to the public is simple. If you are planning to use the U.S. Mail to cast your ballot in November, please plan to mail early,\u201d said Postmaster General and CEO Louis DeJoy.<\/p>\n
The Postal Service has the operational capacity to deliver the nation\u2019s ballots in the final weeks of the election. In 2020, ballots accounted for just 0.11% of the Postal Service\u2019s total mail volume.<\/p>\n
The Postal Service\u2019s common-sense voter recommendation remains that domestic voters should mail their completed ballot before Election Day, and at least one week prior to the deadline by which their completed ballot must be received by their local election official. All voters should check their state\u2019s deadlines, links to which are also available at\u00a0https:\/\/www.usps.com\/electionmail<\/a>.<\/p>\n More information on the Postal Service\u2019s successful performance in the 2020 and 2022 elections is available at the above website link.<\/p>\n ###<\/p>\n The United States Postal Service is an independent federal establishment, mandated to be self-financing and to serve every American community through the affordable, reliable and secure delivery of mail and packages to 167 million addresses six and often seven days a week. Overseen by a bipartisan Board of Governors, the Postal Service is implementing a 10-year transformation plan,\u00a0Delivering for America<\/em><\/a>, to modernize the postal network, restore long-term financial sustainability, dramatically improve service across all mail and shipping categories, and maintain the organization as one of America\u2019s most valued and trusted brands.<\/p>\n The Postal Service generally receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.<\/p>\n
