俄亥俄州结束了2026年生效的选票邮寄宽限期,以避免可能出现的最高法院冲突。 Ohio ends mail-in ballot grace period, effective 2026, to avoid potential Supreme Court conflict.

俄亥俄州州长Mike DeWine(Mike DeWine)签署了一份法案, 结束了美国四天的邮寄选票宽限期, 要求所有选票在选举日前抵达, 并引证对美国最高法院待决案件的关切, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed a bill ending the state’s four-day grace period for mail-in ballots, requiring all ballots to arrive by Election Day, citing concerns over a pending U.S. Supreme Court case that could invalidate the grace period by June 2026. 这一改变在2026年5月初选和11月大选中生效,目的是避免如果法院裁定选举后选举日不接受选票,就会出现法律混乱。 The change, effective for the May 2026 primary and November general election, aims to avoid legal chaos if the Court rules against post-Election Day ballot acceptance. 虽然共和党人认为此举符合俄亥俄州国家标准, 防止选举管理中断, 民主党警告该举动可能会剥夺选民权利, 特别是在农村地区。 While Republicans argue the move aligns Ohio with national standards and prevents election administration disruptions, Democrats warn it may disenfranchise voters, especially in rural areas. 该法还授权国家秘书根据公民身份数据取消选民登记。 The law also grants the secretary of state authority to cancel voter registrations based on citizenship data.
