Voting by Mail: Civil War to Covid-19
August 24, 2024 – February 23, 2025
The presidential election year is the appropriate time to reflect on past examples of national voting by mail. An exhibition to this effect at the National Postal Museum, will include objects from its collection, including a mailed tally sheet from 1864 recording the votes of soldiers from Highland County, Ohio; an absentee ballot request postcard for an Alabama soldier during World War II; a 5-cent postage stamp reminding citizens to register and vote; a complete absentee ballot kit and instruction sheet from the last presidential election in 2020, and others.
