The United States Postal Service (USPS) is a crucial part of the country's election process, delivering mail-in ballots and other election-related materials to voters.
In most states, mail-in ballots can be sent through the USPS, but it's essential to check with your local election office for specific instructions.
The USPS typically delivers mail six days a week, but on Election Day, some offices may have modified hours or be closed.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) has some specific guidelines for Election Day. Mail delivery will be the same on Election Day as any other day.
The USPS does not consider Election Day a federal holiday, so you can expect regular mail delivery services. Post offices will be open, but voters are advised not to drop off their mail-in ballots on Election Day.
The USPS recommends mailing your ballot by October 29 at the latest to ensure it arrives on time. They're also deploying extra measures to quickly move ballots entered close to or on Election Day.
In 2024, the USPS will close on November 11 for Veterans Day, November 28 for Thanksgiving, and December 25 for Christmas Day.
