My wife and I just received our Alaska mail-in ballots. We will have to pay the postage. One curious thing is that the upper right corner where the stamp is placed has just one block that states “First Class Postage Required”. Because of the size and weight of the ballot, two stamps are required on the envelope as the required postage is $0.84 or 2 First Class stamps since no one has a proper collection of smaller value stamps to get to $0.84.

The USPS has stated that all ballots with or without the required postage will be delivered in a timely manner.
