Signal US Supreme Court Lifts One of Two Injunctions on Mail Ballot Executive Order

Summary

The US Supreme Court voted 6-3 to lift a lower court's block on part of an executive order tightening mail-in ballot procedures. The order, EO 14399, covers citizenship verification and mail ballot rules ahead of the November 2026 elections. The ruling allows related rulemaking by the US Postal Service to proceed in part. A separate nationwide lower-court injunction blocking enforcement of Section 3 of the order remains in place. The decision gives the administration a partial, interim procedural win while the litigation continues.
