Critical Swing States Face Mail Ballot Deadline Battles
As the Supreme Court weighs in on mail ballot deadlines, 14 key states could be impacted. Discover the latest state-by-state ballot laws and grace periods.
The impending Supreme Court decision on mail-in ballot deadlines could have a significant impact on voting in 14 crucial swing states across the United States. Each state has its own unique laws and grace periods when it comes to the receipt and counting of late-arriving mail ballots, and the high court's ruling could create further confusion and chaos as the 2024 election cycle approaches.
In Arizona, for example, mail ballots must be received by 7 p.m. on Election Day to be counted. Florida, on the other hand, allows mail ballots to be counted as long as they are postmarked by Election Day and received within 10 days. Michigan has a 14-day grace period, while Pennsylvania requires ballots to arrive by 8 p.m. on Election Day.
