Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said the U.S. Postal Service will not carry out some operational and organizational changes such as removing mail processing equipment or collection boxes until the end of the November election, following critical feedback and pressure from Democrats in Congress.

In a statement on Tuesday, DeJoy, who was recently appointed to the position, said, “To avoid even the appearance of any impact on election mail, I am suspending these initiatives until after the election is concluded.” DeJoy added he would expand a task force on mail during the election.
