You can still vote by mail in this election. 📬📮

The U.S. Supreme Court has blocked new federal mail-ballot rules from taking effect before the 2026 election. This means mail voting will continue under each state’s current rules.

Depending on where you live, you may receive a ballot automatically or need to request one. Check your state’s rules, follow the instructions that come with your ballot, and return it early.

The U.S. Supreme Court this week ruled 7 to 2 that President Trump’s executive order regulating mail-in ballots could not go into effect this close to the election.

The executive order would require states to implement a standardized design for mail-in ballot envelopes and upload voter eligibility data to a new online portal. The Postal Service could refuse to deliver ballots to states that didn’t comply.

Nevada has one of the highest shares of voter participation by mail-in ballot. According to a recent report to Congress, 44% of its voters opt to vote by mail.

Despite the decision, the back-and-forth among the administration, election officials, and the courts so close to the midterm election has confused many voters.

So what should voters expect as ballots begin to arrive in mailboxes?

"What we're telling voters to do is, if they choose to use a mail ballot, mail it a week before election day," Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar told KNPR's State of Nevada. "If you're going to hold it towards election day, drop it off at a polling location in one of the drop boxes."

However, that hasn't stopped the Trump Administration's Department of Justice from continuing investigations into alleged voting by non-citizens. Aguilar confirms his office has received subpoenas.

✨ In 1985, Wilma Mankiller became the first woman to lead the Cherokee Nation as Principal Chief, a role no woman had ever held for a major tribe.

Born in Tahlequah in 1945, she spent her early adulthood in California and came back to Oklahoma determined to rebuild rural Cherokee communities from the ground up, bringing running water, health clinics, and jobs. Elected in her own right in 1987 and again in 1991, she led with a quiet, steady resolve through it all. In 1998 she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and in 2022 her likeness appeared on the United States quarter. 🪶

Her surname came from a Cherokee military rank an ancestor once held. What part of Wilma Mankiller's story do you most want people to remember?

Everything sacred is on the ballot this November - from the health and wellbeing of our communities to the future of our Ancestral lands.
