NEW THIS YEAR

  • An updated version of Tag 191 will be entered into circulation this election year. The April 2025 dated tag features the same text on both sides and has English and Spanish translations, whereas the existing July 2007 dated tag had different faces and was written only in English. Both versions of the tag remain valid.

Please exhaust the existing tags on hand. Business Mail Entry Units (BMEUs) will continue to accept and affix both versions of the tag since they are reusable. Affix Tag 191 to the mail container as follows:

  • Strapped Letter Trays: Using a plastic twist tie, attach Tag 191 to the strap at the end of the tray that bears the tray label.
  • Non-strapped Letter Trays: For trays permitted to be tendered without strapping, attach Tag 191 to the tray with a rubber band that is double-looped through the tray handhold at the end that bears the tray label.
  • Sacks and Flat Trays with Flat-Size Mail: Depending on the type of sack, attach Tag 191 to either the strap or label holder on the sack. Tags are available at your local BMEU, which can be found at https://postalpro.usps.com/node/1623 or ordered online at https://about.usps.com/forms/ps1910.pdf.
  • front and back of tag191; a lime green tag contains the oem logo and directions for processing

Tag 191 is used to identify your outgoing Ballot Mail only. Tags are available at your local Post Office™ or can be ordered online at https://about.usps.com/gov-services/election-mail/.
