Advocacy Brief:
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has a new proposed rule about how mail-in ballots are handled for federal elections. Some parts of the rule could make it harder for people to vote by mail, especially people with disabilities who rely on the mail to vote safely.
The rule is not final yet. USPS is asking the public for comments until July 2, 2026.
Why This Matters to You
· Many people with disabilities vote by mail. It can be safer, easier, and more accessible.
· The new rule could allow USPS to reject ballots for small technical issues, even if the voter followed state rules.
· This could make it harder for disabled voters to have their vote counted.
· Voting rights are protected by laws like the ADA and HAVA, which say voting must be accessible.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
· Vote privately and independently
· Ask for help with reading, writing, or mailing your ballot
· Use accessible voting options, including absentee or mail-in voting
· Have your ballot counted if you follow your state’s rules
· Speak up if something makes voting harder for you
What You Can Do
1. Share Your Voice
You can tell USPS how this rule would affect you. Send comments by July 2, 2026 to: www.regulations.gov/document/USPS-2026-1289-0001 Subject line: “Ballot Mail”
You can say things like:
· “I rely on mail-in voting because of my disability.”
· “Please do not add new barriers that make it harder for me to vote.”
· “Voting must stay accessible for everyone.”
2. Tell Others
Talk to friends, family, and other self-advocates about this rule. Your story helps people understand why accessible voting matters.
3. Report Problems
If you have trouble mailing or receiving your ballot, tell:
· Secretary of State’s Office www.sos.nd.gov/elections/voter
· Protection and Advocacy Project www.ndpanda.org/
· A trusted advocate or support person
Why Your Voice Matters
Self-advocates have changed laws, policies, and systems by speaking up. Your story shows leaders what real people need to vote safely and fairly. When you advocate, you help protect voting rights for everyone.
