The Election Mail and Ballot Mail STID Finder was introduced in early 2024 as a tool to assist election officials and their mail service providers with selecting an appropriate Election Mail and Ballot Mail STID for their outbound mailings. It is critical when utilizing the tool to understand the difference between Ballot Mail and Election Mail in order to select the optimal STID.
The tool asks users to answer a series of yes/no and multiple-choice questions related to the main attributes that determine which STID may match the mailer’s needs. It is important to bear in mind that the tool’s results are suggestions only. This tool ONLY supports Election Mail and Ballot Mail. All other types of mailings should refer to the full list of STIDs available on Postal Pro at: https://postalpro.usps.com/mailing/service-type-identifiers.
As always, election officials should consult with their mail service provider or the ACS Help Desk for additional guidance about Ballot Mail STIDs.
