"U.S. Postal Service operations will not be interrupted in the event of a government shutdown, and all Post Offices will remain open for business as usual, the agency said back in September. Because we are an independent entity that is generally funded through the sale of our products and services, and not by tax dollars, our services will not be impacted by a government shutdown."
"Due to changes to mail service this year, people living more than 50 miles from a U.S. Postal Service regional mail processing hub who drop off their ballot in a mailbox or at a post office on Election Day won't have a guarantee that their ballot will be postmarked that same day. Instead, it could be postmarked the day after too late for the ballot to count."
An ongoing federal government shutdown is expected to delay food benefits and affect pay for federal employees but will not impact California's special redistricting election unless U.S. Postal Service operations are interrupted. The U.S. Postal Service says operations will continue during a shutdown because it is funded mainly through sales of products and services rather than tax dollars, and the agency is prepared for increased election and holiday mail volume. California elections officials advise mail voters to return ballots early because mail-service changes could delay postmarks for residents more than 50 miles from processing hubs. Voters can use secure drop boxes, polling locations, county offices, or vote centers.
