USPS Prepares for 2024 Election Mail Surge

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has assured Americans that the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is well-prepared for the influx of mail-in ballots in the upcoming 2024 election, emphasizing improved operations compared to previous years. DeJoy highlighted that USPS successfully returned 97.9% of ballots within three days during the 2020 election and aims to build on that performance. Meanwhile, in Sri Lanka, the distribution of presidential election ballot papers is nearly complete, with 95% already dispatched and postal voting set for September 4-6. The U.S. Postal Service plans to implement additional measures, including extra pickups and special sorting, to ensure timely delivery of ballots close to Election Day. Voters in Oregon are reminded to register by October 15 and to mail their ballots by November 5. DeJoy's ongoing commitment to the electoral process comes despite past controversies surrounding his leadership and alleged political affiliations.
