Election Integrity

The U.S. Postal Service has opened a public comment period on its proposed rule regarding Ballot Mail for Federal Elections.

Comments are due by July 2, 2026. The proposal stems from Executive Order 14399 and would establish new standards for the handling and tracking of mail-in ballots used in federal elections.

If you've spent years advocating for election integrity, chain of custody protections, voter verification, ballot tracking, and public confidence in elections, now is the time to put your concerns on the record.
