Report Description
The portion of Americans who vote by mail had been growing steadily even before the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic led to millions of voters casting mail ballots for the first time. In the 2020 general election, the Postal Service delivered more than 135 million ballots to or from voters. In this white paper, the OIG provides an overview of vote-by-mail processes, the variability of those processes, and challenges for the Postal Service and others.
