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, deliver election mail like voter registration forms and ballots as first-class mail at no cost to the sender, and avoid making changes that could slow down election mail delivery within 120 days of an election. States must include a trackable barcode on ballot return envelopes so voters can follow their ballot through the mail, and election officials must count any mail-in ballot that is postmarked by election day and arrives within seven days after the election. The bill also requires the Postal Service to assign election mail coordinators at each area and district office and to meet yearly with Indian tribes about voting challenges on Indian lands.
