Voters across America have reported they are receiving mailers from the U.S. Postal Service with misleading information about this year’s election. According to officials in Utah and Nevada, residents have been receiving postcards from the USPS that contain false information about absentee voting.
The cards, which were sent out nationwide, urged voters to request their ballots at least 15 days before the election. However, both states are implementing a new model that will allow registered voters to automatically receive their ballots in the mail.
The cards also told residents to add postage before sending their ballots in, even though mail-in ballots come with prepaid postage. Election officials were only made aware of these mailers after residents voiced their concerns.
“We were first made aware of the mailer when our office started to receive phone calls from voters, who had received the postcard in the mail and were confused by it,” explained election official Wayne Thorley. “I applaud their (the USPS) attempt to get information out there, wish they would work a little more closely with election officials.”
The USPS issued a statement shortly thereafter, claiming the postcards were sent to people nationwide and were not intended to be state specific.
