USPS Seeks Voter Data to Track Federal Mail-In Ballots
TL;DR Summary
USPS proposed federal rules requiring states to share voter-level data (names, addresses, and per-ballot barcodes) for mail-in/absentee ballots in federal elections, to track ballots and create a state-by-state participation list via a new Federal Ballot Mail Portal; the rules would apply to federal elections (not primaries or overseas ballots) and follow President Trump's March executive order, with the Federal Register publication slated for June 2 and a 30-day public comment period; a judge previously declined to block the order’s mail-voting provisions while the process continues.
