Part of the Settlement requires the United States Postal Service (USPS) to meet with the NAACP at regularly prescheduled times for informational and educational purposes and to discuss possible needed changes to facilitate the efficient and timely delivery of mail-in votes and to make sure the Post Office is clear on and in compliance with federal regulations for mail-in votes across the nation.
