USPS Warns: Mail Your Ballots No Later Than Today

Democracy Docket reports:

The U.S. Postal Service told voters in a release Monday that if their mail-in ballots must be delivered by Election Day, they should mail them by Tuesday, Oct. 29.

“We continue to recommend that it is a good common-sense measure for voters who choose to mail in their ballots to do so before Election Day and at least a week before their election office needs to receive them,” the Postal Service said in a statement.

Most states will only count ballots if the election office receives them by the close of the polls on Election Day. However, a handful of states will still count ballots received after Election Day as long as they are postmarked by that date, with the deadlines ranging from a few days to two weeks after Election Day.
