OIG Says Post Ready For 2018 Election Mail

From the OIG: The objective of our audit was to evaluate the Postal Service’s readiness for timely processing of election and political mail for the 2018 midterm elections.
Election mail is a mailpiece that an authorized election official creates for voters participating in the election process, while political mail is mail used for political campaign purposes.

The Postal Service was not ready for the January 2018 special elections; however, since our field work it has improved readiness and should be ready for the timely processing of election and political mail for the 2018 midterm elections. Additionally, it has adequate response time for any further 2018 midterm election needs.
