Election Mail Act

This bill sets rules for how the U.S. Postal Service handles election mail for federal elections. It requires the Postal Service to process mail-in ballots on the same day they are received, stamp each ballot with a postmark, and carry election mail like voter registration forms and ballots as first-class mail with no postage cost. The Postal Service would also be blocked from making changes that could slow down election mail delivery within 120 days of a federal election, and each mail-in ballot must come with a return envelope that lets voters track it through the mail. The bill also requires that mail-in ballots be counted as long as they are postmarked by election day and arrive within seven days after the election.
