The US Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that states may count mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day as long as they were postmarked by Election Day, rejecting a challenge by the Republican National Committee that had sought to require all ballots be received by Election Day, according to reports.
The US Supreme Court on Monday ruled 5-4 that states may count mail-in ballots arriving after Election Day as long as they are postmarked by Election Day, rejecting a challenge by the Republican National Committee (RNC). The RNC had sought a requirement that all ballots be received by Election Day. The ruling aligns with existing practices in several states that accept late-arriving ballots postmarked on time. The case marks a significant pre-election decision on voting procedures ahead of the 2026 midterms. No further details from the ruling or dissenting opinions have been released yet.
