But USPS, on average, took only one day to deliver ballots from voters to election officials. That’s faster than the 1.6 days USPS spent, on average, on that leg of ballot delivery in the 2020 general election, or the nearly two-day average it took in the 2022 midterm elections.

Almost 99.9% of general election mail ballots were delivered to election officials within a week and 97.7% of them were delivered within three days, postal officials said.

The U.S. Postal Service says nearly 100% of completed mail ballots were returned to election offices within a week during this year’s presidential contest.
