The Supreme Court has made a ruling on mailed ballots, allowing states to count those that arrive after Election Day as long as they are mailed on time. This decision applies to laws in over half of the states and the District of Columbia.

The court's decision was made with a 5-4 vote, rejecting a challenge to these laws. The ruling spares election officials from having to change ballot rules before the 2026 midterm elections.

Further details on the Supreme Court's decision are available from NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth. The ruling is seen as a significant development in election procedures, and more information can be found through the source.
