The US Postal Service (USPS) has been advised to remind senior managers that they are required to follow its extraordinary measures, policy and use its express mail network to expedite ballots ahead of Today’s presidential election in America.

US District Judge Emmet Sullivan who gave the order recently, to which the USPS agreed said the postal service must reinforce its special procedures to ensure it delivers every ballot possible by the cutoff time on Election Day.

USPS will also reinforce to managers that all ballots with a local destination must be cleared and processed on the same day or no later than the next morning for delivery to local offices before November 7th.

Sullivan, from the US District Court in Washington, also ordered the USPS  at numerous processing locations to ensure the timely delivery of millions of ballots before Today’s presidential election.

Judge Emmet also said the USPS must reinforce the need to apply a legible postmark to every ballot reflecting the date it was collected. USPS must postmark all ballots, even those without postage, the federal district order stated.
