Mail it early, or don't mail it: what Columbus voters need to know about ballot postmarks

A U.S. Postal Service rule has set off warnings nationwide that mailed ballots could get late postmarks and go uncounted. The rule, which took effect in December 2025 , says a postmark usually shows when a piece of mail is first machine-processed, which isn’t always the day it was mailed. USPS says the rule describes existing practice rather than changing it. For voters, it matters in states that count late-arriving ballots postmarked on time, and in Georgia, for military and overseas voters. Anyone can ask for a hand-stamped ballot, but for most Georgia voters, a hand stamp does nothing. The ballot must be in the elections office by 7 p.m. on Election Day (Nov. 3 this year), and a same-day postmark doesn’t really make the mail move any faster. But it does matter for military and overseas voters, whose ballots count if they are postmarked by Election Day. For a stateside soldier at Fort Benning mailing on Election Day, a hand stamp can be the difference between counted and rejected. Georgia sets a receipt deadline, not a mailing deadline Elena Patel, from the nonpartisan think tank Brookings , posits that the USPS has said a postmark may reflect when a
