The United States Postal Service (USPS), has released its 2024 Post-Election Analysis Report, and the full amount of ballots it processed during the 2024 Election. As voting by mail becomes more widely adopted,

The U.S. Postal Service delivered 99.22 million ballots for the 2024 election, with 99.88% of ballots delivered within seven days.

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.

There were more than 150,000 ballots mailed between Oct. 31 and Election Day that did not make it to election offices in time to be counted.

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.
