US Supreme Court rejects Trump's restrictions on mail voting before midterms

Euronews Portugal15 September 2026 at 06:45

The United States Supreme Court rejected the restrictions imposed by then-President Donald Trump on mail voting before the midterm elections. The decision allows states to continue sending mail-in ballots using the same procedures used for years.

The mail-in voting procedures that were in place were maintained through this judicial decision. These methods had already been used by states for several years before the court's decision.

Mail voting represents a significant portion of the American electoral process, accounting for nearly one-third of all votes cast. The maintenance of these procedures ensures that millions of voters can continue to vote this way in the upcoming midterm elections.

Why this matters

The decision directly affects millions of American voters who depend on mail voting, especially during the midterm campaign period, ensuring they can continue to exercise their right to vote by mail without new administrative barriers imposed by the previous administration. WHY: Brazilian readers following international politics benefit from understanding how the American electoral system works in practice, particularly after years of dispute over the security and legitimacy of mail voting, an issue that also generates similar debates in democracies around the world.
