Informed Delivery

Informed Delivery® is a secure, free, and optional feature that can help election officials connect with voters by providing eligible residential and personal P.O. Box consumers with a digital preview of their household’s incoming mail and the ability to manage their packages all from one location. Users can view grayscale images of the exterior, address side of automation-processed, letter-sized mailpieces via email, USPS Mobile® App or an online dashboard. Nearly 60M users are already signed up with an average email open rate exceeding 60 percent. The Postal Service’s Informed Delivery feature continues to deliver on its value proposition to election officials by providing the opportunity to reach more voters, target and increase interaction with users, encourage responses to voter engagement campaigns, reach customers digitally from their physical address, and gain more returns on Election Mail campaigns.
