The League of Women Voters, committed to the right of all citizens to vote, stands in favor of mail-in balloting and supports funding levels for the United States Postal Service in the US House HEROES Act and Delivering for America Act.
Delivering ballots is an essential function of USPS. The post office processes hundreds of millions of absentee ballots from uniformed service members dating back to the Civil War and for US citizens living abroad. They also support Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Utah, and Washington with their mail-in elections.
