US Supreme Court Blocks Postal Service From Restricting Mail Ballots

Submitted by the US (LWVUS) in September 2026.

Public Statement

In a major win for voting rights, election integrity, and democracy, the US Supreme Court today left in place a preliminary injunction that blocks the US Postal Service (USPS) from enforcing key parts of a new rule that would have significantly restricted mail voting and disenfranchised voters who rely on mail ballots. The preliminary injunction will remain in place through the November 3 election.

Submitted by the US (LWVUS) in August 2026.

A recent Civics Center analysis of voter file data in 30 states revealed that Pennsylvania had the lowest rate of 18-year-olds registered to vote at only 22%. (Here, in Bucks County, the rate was slightly higher at 36%). In comparison, Pennsylvania voter registration of eligible voters 45 and older stood at 82%. The Civics Center also reports that registered 18-year-olds do indeed turn out to vote, particularly for major elections. The organization found that more than 80% of registered 18-year-olds in Pennsylvania voted in the presidential elections of 2020 and 2024, and more than 60% of those voters turned out for the midterm elections of 2018 and 2022. It is vital for the future of our democracy that young people both understand the workings of American government and recognize that voting empowers them to have a voice in their future.

Action Alerts

The SAVE Act adds unnecessary barriers to voter registration by requiring citizenship documentation—despite existing safeguards. Many eligible voters, especially citizens of color, lack easy access to these documents. Tell your members of Congress to oppose this harmful bill and protect the freedom to vote!

In these days of deepening polarization, growing distrust and cynicism brought on by government dysfunction, we might be tempted to withdraw from the public sphere entirely. But now, more than ever, is the right time to look outward and actively participate in neighborhood clubs, organizations and associations that can offer both personal satisfaction and an opportunity to contribute to the betterment of the community.
