Postmark problems from primary vote should not be repeated, North Dakota election official says

The person in charge of North Dakota’s elections said he hopes a return to an “all hands on deck” policy by the U.S. Postal Service will prevent the postmarking problem that arose during the state primary.

At least five counties reported receiving absentee ballots for the June primary election that did not have a postmark. That left it up to each county’s canvassing committee to decide whether to accept the ballots.

North Dakota Secretary of State Michael Howe said the U.S. Postal Service is returning to an “extraordinary measures” policy that was first used in the COVID-19 pandemic year of 2020.

“It’s basically all hands on deck at USPS, if any piece of election mail comes through, ensuring it gets a postmark, ensuring it’s delivered in a timely manner, ensuring nothing gets missed,” Howe said.
