Dear Postmaster General DeJoy:
As the President, President-elect and Elections Committee Co-Chairs of
the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS), we come together
to invite you to participate in a call or virtual meeting with the four of us
the week of August 10, 2020, to discuss United States Postal Service
(USPS) mail service for the November general election.
NASS is the oldest nonpartisan professional organization for elected
officials and 40 of our members serve as their state’s chief election official.
State and local election officials are busy planning for the November
general election and many expect an increase in the use of absentee and
mail ballots, along with other election-related mailings. We view the USPS
as a vital partner in administering a safe, successful election and would like
to learn more about any planned changes around USPS service due to
COVID-19, preparations for increased election-related mail, USPS staffing
levels and processing times, and other pertinent issues.
We look forward to having a call with you. Please contact Leslie Reynolds,
NASS Executive Director with your schedule availability at 202-624-3526,
or reynolds@sso.org. We hope to find a time that works for all of us next
week.
Sincerely,

Hall of the States   444 N. Capitol St., NW – Suite 401   Washington, DC 20001   Phone: 202-624-3525   Fax: 202-624-3527   www.nass.org
