Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam approved a bill on Friday that allocates money toward prepaid postage for absentee ballots, as well as other additional voter protection measures ahead of the November election.

The bill allocates $2 million toward prepaid postage for the return of absentee ballots, adds drop-off boxes throughout the state, and allows voters to fix errors on their ballot before Nov. 3. Localities will front the money for postage and the Commonwealth will reimburse them.

The bill passed alongside 16 other pieces of legislation that are part of the state’s House of Delegates’ special session agenda, which has legislative priorities including support for students and work and healthcare during the pandemic, as well as a focus on passing criminal justice and police reform measures.

“Today, the House of Delegates moved one step closer to providing much needed COVID-19 relief and equity reform to our Commonwealth. We also sent to the Governor’s desk critical legislation to protect Virginians’ right to vote this November,” said Speaker of the House Eileen Filler-Corn in a statement, according to Blue Virginia.

Northam emphasized on Twitter that the state is making mail-in voting easier for Virginians. “Today, I signed important new voter protection laws that will expand access to early voting, provide prepaid return postage on all absentee ballots, and allow for secure drop boxes and drop off locations,” Northam wrote.

The move comes as states and localities face increased uncertainty about voting by mail this November. Worry started earlier this year, when new USPS Postmaster Louis DeJoy instituted major changes at the U.S. Postal Service, including cutting overtime, limiting hours, and the removal of nearly 700 mail sorters from facilities across the country, CNN reported. DeJoy attributed the cahnges to big revenue losses for the agency this year, and expressed skepticism that USPS could handle an influx of vote-by-mail ballots this year.

Lawmakers have since subpoenaed DeJoy for documents on the service changes that could slow mail delivery ahead of the election. Many of them allege that the changes made under DeJoy, a donor to the current president, coupled with President Donald Trump’s repeated attacks on mail-in voting, are an attempt to undermine the election. DeJoy has since said any service changes would come after Nov. 3, but a coalition of states and D.C. are suing the agency — the lawsuit claims that USPS is violating the Constitution by “interfering with states’ ability to manage their own elections, disproportionately preventing seniors from voting, failing to efficiently deliver mail, and failing to give required notice of nationwide service changes.”

In D.C., the board of elections has pledged to mail residents an absentee ballot, which can be dropped off at numerous locations, or attend a select number of polling stations during early voting or Election Day.

For voters in Maryland, Gov Larry Hogan has pushed for more in-person voting centers following the state’s primary earlier this year, which Hogan has said saw “serious failures” and the resulting “disenfranchisement and suppression of primary voters.”

Voters in Maryland must request an absentee ballot — a move some residents opposed. Maryland officials have made a dent in their efforts to recruit more poll workers, but still have a ways to go with the election only weeks away.
