USPS Pushes for Voter Transparency in Mail-In Ballots

The U.S. Postal Service has proposed new rules requiring states to provide lists of voters receiving mailed ballots. This proposal follows a federal judge's decision not to immediately block an associated executive order by President Trump. Public commentary on the proposal will be open for 30 days.

The U.S. Postal Service has introduced new rules aiming to enhance voter transparency by mandating states to submit lists of voters who receive mailed ballots.

This proposal, issued on Friday, comes on the heels of a U.S. District Judge's decision not to immediately halt President Donald Trump's executive order related to mail-in ballots.

Published in the Federal Register, the USPS's rules require states to provide both voter names and the corresponding ballot barcodes for federal elections. The public has a 30-day window to comment on the proposal before the Trump administration can implement it.
