New US Postal Service postmark rule
You may have heard about the new United States Postal Service (USPS) rule and its potential impact on ballots. Under this new rule, which took effect December 24, 2025, mail might not receive a postmark on the day the postal service takes possession of the mail.
[...] In Michigan, Absentee Voter Ballots (AVB) must be received by the clerk by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day and therefore are not dependent on postmarks. Therefore, this postmark rule will not affect most Michigan voters. It is always a best practice for voters to mail their AVB well in advance of the election (we emphasize no later than two weeks prior to Election Day) to ensure timely receipt and counting of the AVB. If there is concern that there is not enough time to mail an AVB before the election, voters are encouraged to return their ballot at a local drop box, deliver their ballot in person to their early voting site (if available), their polling place on Election Day, or to their clerk’s office.
[...] the only potential impact in Michigan will be for ballots under the Military and Overseas Voters Empowerment (MOVE) Act. MOVE ballots must be postmarked by Election Day and received by the clerk by 6 days after the election. MOVE ballots and also mailed voter registration forms are areas where we are continuing to seek guidance. Stay tuned!
