LAS VEGAS ( KLAS ) – A week out from Election Day, the United States Postal Service recommends voters who choose to vote by mail “do so soon,” according to a news release published Monday.
USPS recommends mailing your ballot by Tuesday, Oct. 29, if your vote is due by Nov. 5, Election Day, in your state. (Deadlines for accepting mail-in ballots may vary by state.)
When will we know the results of the presidential election?
“We continue to recommend that it is a good common-sense measure for voters who choose to mail in their ballots to do so before Election Day and at least a week before their election office needs to receive them,” the USPS wrote.
“As we anticipate an uptick of ballots in the mail over the coming days, Postal Service employees are working to ensure the ballots of every individual who chooses to vote by mail are delivered quickly and securely,” a USPS spokesperson said in a statement. “As in past elections, the Postal Service is ready to deliver your ballot on time. But don’t delay. If you choose to vote by mail, please mail early as every day counts.”
