The United States Supreme Court has blocked the implementation of new requirements for mail-in voting previously set by the U.S. government, according to a court ruling issued.

The new requirement requires voter lists to be submitted to the US Postal Service, which then verifies recipient addresses against the list before mailing out ballots.
In addition, the new rules also stipulate provisions regarding envelope formats.
Previously, the US Postal Service did not have such a duty.
In its ruling, the Supreme Court stated that it would uphold the lower court's ruling that suspended the implementation of the regulation.
“The government is unlikely to succeed on its merits in challenging the District Court’s preliminary injunction,” the ruling said.
A lower court previously ruled that the U.S. Postal Service lacks the authority to refuse to deliver ballots if state authorities fail to comply with new requirements regarding voter registration and preparing ballots for mailing.
