States like Washington can continue using our existing mail-voting processes for the November election, without new federal requirements being imposed weeks before Election Day as the Supreme Court left the injunction blocking key parts of a proposed new rule in place. Together with the League of Women Voters of Massachusetts and LWV partners, LWVUS went to court to protect voters and stop these last-minute changes from taking effect. But while we should celebrate this victory, we also know our work isn't finished. 

In a separate opinion, Justice Brett Kavanaugh indicated that the Postal Service may have the authority to issue this kind of rule. His reason for blocking it now was clear: election officials simply don't have enough time to implement it before November.

That means we have to be ready for what comes next.

The League will continue fighting attempts to create new barriers to the ballot — in the courts, in communities, and wherever voters' rights are at stake. For more information, see: US Supreme Court Blocks Postal Service From Restricting Mail Ballots↗️.

Remember, your vote is secure. As Secretary of State Hobbs recently told the Journal of San Juan Islands↗️, “Incidents of voter fraud are incredibly rare. In Washington state, there were just five cases between 2008 and 2025, out of 90 million ballots cast during that time.”
