*so important*: if you’re voting by mail, assume the USPS will delay because it’s its policy.

—put it in drop box

Many states require that mail ballots be postmarked by a specific day. But due to a USPS rule announced late last year, voters may need to put their ballot in a mailbox days in advance.
In an Intense Election Year, New Post Office Rules Could Trip Up Voter Registration - Bolts
