New This Year

As part of the Postal Service’s continued effort to provide visibility tools to all election officials, the Ballot Mail STID Table has been revised to better instruct election officials on STID selection for their mailings. Two STIDs requiring hardcopy address correction notice options for Full-Service mailers were retired on July 9, 2023.

On January 21, 2024, five Ballot Mail Change Service Requested STIDs will be retired. This includes First-Class Mail STIDs 719 and 724 as well as Marketing Mail STIDs 739, 745, and 740. Therefore, we do not recommend using these STIDs for Ballot Mail.

As always, election officials should contact their mail service provider or the ACS Help Desk for additional guidance about Ballot Mail STIDs.

The Service Type ID Table can be found at: https://postalpro.usps.com/mailing/service-type-identifiers.

 

Resources

  1. Consult the Service Type IDentifier Table for Ballot Mail on page 12 of this KIT to determine the correct STID or visit https://postalpro.usps.com/mailing/service-type-identifiers.
  2. Detailed descriptions of the various Ballot Mail STIDs can be found in Appendix A at https://postalpro.usps.com/node/461.
  3. For additional support, contact the ACS Help Desk via email at ACS@usps.gov or by phone at 877-640-0724, Option 1.
