flag USPS now uses regional processing dates instead of local postmarks, potentially delaying mail deadlines and raising ballot rejection risks.

flag With effect from December 24, 2025, the U.S. flag Postal Service will apply postmarks using processing dates at regional centers rather than local post office dates. flag Time-sensitive submissions like mail-in ballots, tax returns, and legal filings may be impacted by this change, which could cause postmark dates to be delayed by several days. flag Concerns regarding ballot rejection are raised by the change, which is a component of larger efficiency reforms, particularly in states where postmarked ballots do not have grace periods. flag In the midst of discussions about voter access and election integrity, the Supreme Court is also considering whether states may count ballots after Election Day, a practice that is employed in 14 states and Washington, D.C.
