The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) on-time delivery rates for first-class mail remain below previous levels in 59 of the 67 U.S. postal districts, according to Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), who called on Postmaster General Louis DeJoy to take steps to improve service as millions of Americans prepare to mail their 2020 election ballots.

“Delivery performance has fluctuated in recent weeks, and declined overall during the month of September,” Peters said in a statement, while acknowledging that on-time deliveries have improved after a dip this summer.
