Media Release: April 30, 2024

Macon County Elections and Registration has always strived to process absentee applications and absentee ballots as quickly as possible. However, we would like to advise our voters that the USPS is dealing with major delays at the Palmetto distribution center. Please apply for your absentee ballot early and send your voted ballot back to us as soon as possible. That will allow for ample time for us to receive it. You may also choose to vote early at our early voting location or vote at your polling place on Election Day. The USPS has released the following statement: The Postal Service plays an important role in the community, and we are committed to providing the best service possible.

While a vast majority of mail in the Atlanta area is being delivered in a timely manner, local management has been made aware of the concerns of some local customers regarding their mail delivery and is working quickly to resolve any issues. We sincerely express our apologies to our customers who may have experienced a deviation from our normal dependable service and appreciate their patience. Customers are reminded that, if they need assistance with mailing or shipping concerns, they have a variety of options for reaching us, including contacting a manager or supervisor at their local Post Office, calling 1-800-ASK-USPS (800) 275-8777 or visiting our website at www.usps.com.
