A recent court decision affects mail-in voting. The Supreme Court rejected an emergency application, which means a regulation concerning mail-in ballots will not take effect. This regulation would have imposed new requirements on states.

The court's decision is significant because it prevents major changes from being implemented close to an election. Some feared this would cause problems.

Further information about the court's decision and its implications is available from the source. The decision was not unanimous, with two justices dissenting.
