The U.S. Postal Service has published a proposed rule that would shift control over mail-in voting from the states to a federal agency under the president’s control and would condition ballot access on state compliance with federally imposed requirements. The real impact of this proposal is to allow the federal government to potentially suppress the vote of people throughout the country.

The Action Alert and accompanying Briefing Materials provide detailed information about why this effort is an impermissible interference with the states’ constitutionally mandated role of administering elections and lacks lawful constitutional or statutory authority. 

Simply put, if the United States Postal Service implements this proposed rule, it risks disenfranchising millions of registered voters and will wreak havoc on the system of mail-in voting.

Please submit a comment before the deadline of midnight on July 2, 2026, and speak out publicly in opposition to this proposed rule and the risks it poses to our democracy.

Our Action Alert and Briefing Materials provide all the information you need to do this easily. After submitting your comment, please let us know via this form.
