All injunctions against Trump mail-in voting rule lifted, allowing USPS ballot restrictions to take effect

As of August 26, 2026, all judicial injunctions blocking the USPS mail-in voting rule have been dissolved or lifted. U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani vacated her nationwide injunction on August 26, two days after the Supreme Court lifted a second injunction. The rule's new ballot envelope design standards and absentee-voter-list requirements can now take effect. Lawsuits from two dozen states and voting rights groups continue.
