Voter Urgency Rises as Mail-In Ballot Deadlines Approach

With Election Day nearing, voters are urged to understand state-specific deadlines to ensure their mail-in ballots are counted.

Thirty-two states require mail-in ballots to be received by Election Day to be counted, with no exceptions for late arrivals.
In Michigan, over 1.1 million absentee ballots have been returned, with voters encouraged to use drop boxes to avoid mail delays.
Wisconsin voters should mail absentee ballots by October 29 to ensure they arrive by the November 5 deadline.
The U.S. Postal Service recommends mailing ballots at least a week before state deadlines to avoid potential delays.
Voters have alternative options like early voting or hand-delivering ballots to local election offices if mailing is not feasible.
