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.

This mostly would harm older Republicans, but it's also not an actual change. Postmarks aren't applied on receipt unless you give your mail to a window clerk, FCM hasn't been next day guaranteed for a decade, and we separate out ballots if there's any time concern before it goes to a sorting facility.
