Mail-in ballots risk rejection over late postmarks
Original: Why mailing a ballot close to Election Day may get it rejected for a late postmark
Election officials warn that ballots mailed close to Election Day may arrive with a late postmark and be rejected. Postal processing times mean a ballot dropped off on or just before Election Day can be postmarked after the deadline, disqualifying it even if it arrives quickly. Voters are being urged to mail ballots early or use official drop boxes, and to check their state's postmark and arrival rules.
Why now: Voters are looking for practical guidance as Election Day nears and the risk of disqualifying late postmarks grows.
