US Postal Service issues rule to tighten requirements for mail-in voting despite courts looking to block

The U.S. Postal Service released new rules tightening mail-in voting eligibility in response to a Trump executive order — even after a federal court struck down that same order. The 95-page report sets stricter ballot distribution guidelines for November's midterm elections.

✦ What This Means For Us

HBCU students vote by mail at higher rates than the general population, especially those attending out-of-state schools or juggling work and class schedules. Tighter mail-in ballot requirements create friction for young Black voters who powered recent electoral victories and remain targets of voter suppression tactics. This directly threatens student organizing power at a moment when federal funding for HBCUs and civil rights protections hang in the balance.
