Do the Postmark Changes have you worried? 

Here's what you need to know:

  • In Pennsylvania, the date of the postmark on your mail-in ballot does not matter, so the new postmark changes do not affect mail-in voters in PA. 
  • Your ballot must be received by your County Elections Office by 8:00 pm on Election Day.  Ballots are stamped with the time and date when they arrive at the office.  This date stamp is used to determine if your ballot is on time, not the postmark.
For more information, see our Mail-in Voting page.
New Year, New "Annual List"...

If you were on the "Annual List" for mail-in ballots last year, you will receive a new mail-in ballot application in the mail in early 2026.   You can use this application to apply for a ballot for the next election, and/or request all of your ballots for the upcoming year.  You can also apply using the online application .


Remember,  you have to reapply each year to stay on the "Annual List".  See more details in our "Annual Mail-in Request" explainer:

LWV Advocacy 
LWVUS Condemns Unwarranted Federal Presence and Military Escalation in Minnesota

“The League of Women Voters calls on Congress to exercise its constitutional oversight authority and investigate these threats of federal overreach, as well as DHS, ICE, and CBP use-of-force. We urge the public to reject efforts to normalize the use of federal military force as a response to civil unrest or tragedy.

“The League stands with Minnesotans in affirming that democracy is built by the people, not imposed through fear or force. We strongly condemn any unwarranted federal immigration enforcement and military deployment or threat of deployment in Minnesota or anywhere in the United States.”

See the LWVUS Newsroom for current 
LWVUS Press Releases

Call to Action:


Urge your federal representatives to:

1. Refuse to vote for any Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations bill that includes increased funding for ICE or Border
Patrol, including funds for detention.

2. Refuse to vote for any appropriations bill for DHS beyond January 30 unless it:


a. Strengthens restrictions on ICE and Border Patrol’s ability to conduct dragnet arrest operations
and target people based on their race, language or accent, place of employment, or location at
the time of the apprehension;
b. Ends border patrol deployment to our cities and rejects its ever-expanding mandate in
immigration enforcement; and
c. Limits DHS's reprogramming and transfer authority, including specifically preventing
reprogramming and transferring funds for detention.
