If you want to vote by mail please do so as soon as you can and consider dropping it off at the counter where they will postmark it right away.

Also if you live in a state where you're allowed to photograph your ballot consider doing so to have proof you voted a certain way.

Note that as a counterpoint the federal register website claims they are just clarifying language to improve public understanding: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/08/12/2025-15266/postmarks-and-postal-possession

I didn't check that document very closely yet.

I dunno, my company doesn't handle money that way. The penalty for late forms is we don't accept the form. Typically, that meant everything postmarked after the due date was not allowed, but we accepted anything postmarked before or on the date even if it arrived later. Now we might have to ask for some kinda proof of submission if the date stamp becomes unreliable.
