Election Mail 4

The United States Postal Service’s number one priority between now and Election Day is the secure, on-time delivery of the nation’s Election Mail. The Postal Service is committed to fulfilling our role in the electoral process when public policy makers choose to utilize us as a part of their election system.

The Postal Service delivers 421 million pieces of mail a day. Even if all Americans were to vote by mail this year, 330 million ballots over the course of the election would be only three-quarters of what the Postal Service delivers in a single day. The Postal Service has more than enough capacity to handle all election mail this year, which is predicted to amount to less than 2% of total mail volume from mid-September to Election Day.

We are fully committed and actively working to handle the expected increased demand and any other circumstances between now and the November election.

Because that’s Smart Business.

Consider switching to a strong passphrase — a unique and memorable set of words. It’s the first line of defense for protecting sensitive Postal Service information.

Keep these tips in mind:

• Use a unique set of words and replace letters with special characters and numbers — for example, H@ppyN3wY3*r20!9!
• Avoid using easily guessed words, like family members’ names and birthdays.
• Make passphrases as long as possible, which makes it more difficult for criminals to guess.
• Never share your passphrase with others — including trusted colleagues.

Protecting USPS information with strong passphrases is smart business.
