VOTE BY MAIL

Mail can play an important role in helping citizens choose their elected officials, and the U.S. Postal Service has resources that officials need to create Vote by Mail programs.

Those were the two main points shared by Postmaster General John Potter during a keynote address at the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) summer meeting in Portland, OR. Stressing proven experience, commitment and available resources, Potter said the Postal Service is a ready partner in state efforts to reach voters and conduct elections through the mail.

"The Postal Service has a proud history of working with election officials across the country to suggest mailing options, assist with address databases and ensure proper handling of election materials," Potter said, adding that almost 200,000 ballots were delivered to military installations around the world, including Iraq and Afghanistan, during the 2006 national elections.

"Even in times of war, we have delivered the most fundamental symbol of democracy. A ballot," Potter said.

Founded in 1904, NASS is the nation's oldest, nonpartisan, professional organization for state officials.

The Postal Service plays no role in how elections are carried out in the United States, although it is fully authorized to inform and educate election officials about available USPS products and services.

YODA WINNER!

Yoda Stamp The Force was with Yoda, the top pick of Americans who voted to determine which Star Wars character would be featured on a single stamp to be issued later this summer. Yoda was the fan favorite among the 15 images on the Star Wars stamp sheet, currently on sale.

"We can only describe the excitement created by the Star Wars stamps as out of this galaxy," says Anita Bizzotto, chief marketing officer and executive vice president of the Postal Service.

The Star Wars stamp sheet is available for purchase in Post Offices, on usps.com and by calling 800-STAMP-24.
