Kansas City, MO, July 31, 2026 —
The Wyandotte County Election Office has resolved an issue affecting mail-in ballot return envelopes that led to some ballots being returned to voters.
The problem stemmed from the return envelopes containing two addresses. One of these addresses was a Post Office Box that is no longer serviced by the United States Postal Service. This resulted in a number of mail-in ballots being undeliverable and subsequently returned to the senders.
According to the election commissioner, the issue has since been corrected. Mail ballots are now reportedly being received by the Election Office on a regular basis.
The Election Office did not provide further details on the number of ballots affected by the erroneous address or the specific timeline of when the issue occurred.
