The USPS just changed how postmarks work - and it will affect MAIL-IN VOTING while hitting Americans with late fees on everything from tax payments to rent checks.

Starting in 2026, your postmark date won’t reflect when you actually mailed something anymore. Instead of stamping mail with the date you dropped it in a mailbox or handed it to a postal worker, USPS will now mark it with whenever their sorting machine gets around to processing it - potentially days later.

JUST IN TIME FOR NEXT YEARS MIDTERM ELECTIONS

Remember, folks: check, check, and re-check where your polling places are if you're going to be voting in-person. A good rule of thumb is websites ending with ".gov" still being the legitimate sites for the federal and state governments, but ".org" is also still a reliable marker for legitimate websites.

Here are some links that can navigate you through state selection:

For all my Hawaii folks: The Honolulu Elections Division does NOT take postmarks into account when it comes to mail in ballots...HOWEVER. You should still vote as early and as soon as possible!!

The HNL Elections Division is made up of some of the most hardworking, competent, and friendly people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. They are strictly nonpartisan and dedicated to helping you vote. Please make an effort to be aware of what's going on and do all that you can to persevere. We can do this!

Angel: "And after we finished the strawberries, he told me he had to leave to train Silas. Quincy works do hard all the time, they're so lucky to have him on the team!!!"

Ben: "That's nice Angel. Who's this 'lucky' Silas guy"

Angel: "He's the newest Hero sworn to their team - he's an ice monkey that's super cool (haha) and slows bloons down just by standing near them! The librarian saw me struggling to fill my journal so she gave me extra copies of the announcement poster to cut up. She said she'd keep the one on the bulletin board for me once they rotate the flyers.

Isn't he neat? I got a bunch of this info from someone on the Hero Monkey forum. They're like, a MEGA Silas fan that lives close to their towns track. They were lucky enough to watch him work TWICE!

Quincy said Silas acts 'really cold' towards him and I said 'that can't be true, he's an ice monkey he's probably cold around everyone' and he said 'I guess that's true.'"

Ben: "Wow that's really nice of the librarian. Don't you feel bad for stealing all their precious Hero flyers-"

Angel: EEK!!! STOP, YOU'LL CREASE IT!!! If you wanna learn about him so bad I'll photocopy the pages or something!!

Ben: "Just give me his library poster and we'll call it a done deal"

Angel: "But she only gave me 3!! I'll make you a copy!"

Ben: "A copy? Nah I change my mind, gimme that book"

[ The small text next to Angel reads "Not touching the book at all ->" ]
