“The Supreme Court on Monday said it will decide whether federal law prohibits states from counting mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day. The legal battle before the court involves Mississippi’s procedures for counting late-arriving absentee ballots …. In Mississippi, state law allows for absentee ballots postmarked by the day of the election to be counted so long as they’re received up to five days after. Mississippi’s measure was initially enacted during the COVID-19 pandemic and then made permanent. Sixteen states in all will accept and count a mail-in ballot if it arrives after election day but is postmarked on or before it, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.” (11/10/25)
