You're on the voter registry and midterms are like 6 days away. We're all getting them. I had 3 just today and I live alone.

There are steps you can take to reduce the amount of unwanted USPS political mailers.

  • Keep in mind being registered to vote automatically opts you in to receiving political mail/calls/texts/emails, etc. Your voter registration is public record and is obtained by campaigns for their mailing/call/email lists.

  • Voting early seems to reduce these unwanted mailers/phone calls/emails that are connected to the voter registration list.

  • I personally cancel my voter registration after I have voted so it prevents my info from being public record for long periods of time. I then register to vote at the last possible moment as well.

  • Check to see if your state has a confidential voter registration program. This will prevent your voter registration info from being shared.

  • Phone numbers/emails are optional info on voter registration - if you don’t provide this info then you won’t receive political calls/emails.

It is NOT required by law in the USA to have a phone number or email address! Do keep in mind that NOT providing this info will hinder the election board in contacting you if there is an issue with an absentee/mail in ballot.

Install a spam filter app that blocks texts messages based on keywords ("Democrat" "republican" "vote" etc).

NOTE: If receiving phone calls from the “other” party or addressing someone else - a sign that the previous owner of your phone number still has your number listed on their voter registration. Contact your state/local election board and ask for your number to be removed from this individual’s voter registration form.

  • Past resident - if the mailer was mailed using USPS marketing program EDDM/ECRWSS/ECRWSH - this is a sign that USPS has this name variation still listed as a current resident. The ECRWSS/ECRWSH is basically the USPS’s mailing list instead of their own internal one (voter list). These mailers are mailed to every address on an USPS mail route.

How to stop these mailers (political & non-political) in past resident names - Ask mail carrier to MLNA (moved left no address) the name variation.

NOTE: Some mail carriers won’t MLNA non-first class mail so you may have to beg/bribe them especially if the name variation isn’t receiving any other mail. Obtain the VACANT form from local USPS and fill this out with the names of everyone who should receive mail at said address and place in your mailbox. Attach a list of past resident names that need to be MLNA - don’t forget bribe snacks!

  • Past resident - if the mailer isn’t ECRWSS/ECRWSH - sign they haven’t updated their address on their voter registration. Contact your state election board and have your address removed.

It has been particularly bad this year. Eight pieces of junk mail received today, including the junk AJ Exner placed himself on my front door.

Same here. It's especially annoying when I get Republican flyers. I'm not Democratic (I am a left leaning independent) but I do vote Democratic because the Republicans are against everything I stand for and the two party system has a stranglehold on this country.

Unfortunately it's just a nuisance to endure. I wouldn't know how to get off their mailing lists. Just trash it like the rest of us who already know our votes lol. I would not bother being one of those annoying people that tries giving it back to the mailman. Nothing they can do about having to deliver it, and they are highly scrutinized for any they bring back to make sure they're not making attempts to manipulate votes.

I unregistered from them. You have to go to each candidates website and hidden there is an opt-out option. I did this over the summer with every single one I got in the mail. I haven't gotten a single one. Sometimes you have to call.
