Protecting Mail-In Voting Act of 2026
This bill, titled the Protecting Mail-In Voting Act of 2026, prevents the United States Postal Service from changing rules about how it handles mail-in ballots before January 3, 2027. Specifically, it locks in the current mailing standards for ballots and stops the USPS from adding new requirements for senders or recipients during that period. The law applies directly to the Postal Service and anyone involved in sending or receiving mail-in ballots. By freezing these regulations, the bill aims to ensure that the process for handling election mail remains consistent with the rules in place when the act is passed.
