USPS publishes rule requiring states to supply mail-in voter lists
The United States Postal Service published a rule that would require states using USPS to send mail-in ballots to provide lists of eligible voters who will receive those ballots and to include a uniquely serialized Intelligent Mail barcode on both outbound and return ballots. The rule implements aspects of President Trump's March executive order, including state notifications 90 days before an election and voter lists 60 days before an election, but it cannot take effect while a federal judge's injunction remains in place; it will be officially published on Aug. 26.
USPS rule requires states to provide mail-in voter lists and barcodes.
Context
The president issued an order about mail ballots in March. USPS wrote a rule to follow that order. A federal judge blocked that part, so the rule is not in effect.
