Political Campaign Mail

Print

Political Campaign Mail is a piece mailed for political campaign purposes by a political candidate, a campaign committee or a committee of a political party to promote political candidates, referendums or political campaigns.


Political Campaign Mailings

Any material mailed as First-Class Mail or Standard Mail for political campaign purposes by a registered political candidate, campaign committee or committee of a political party is classified as a "political campaign mailing." An individual or organization recognized as such by the appropriate government (national, state & local) election control authority is considered to be a registered political candidate or party.


Using Tag 57 With Political Campaign Mailings

Political campaing mailings are identified and documented when deposited at the Post Office acceptance units prior to entry into processing and distribution. Using a red Tag 57, Political Campaign Mailing, aids in the identification of political campaign mailings. First-Class Mail and Standard Mail entered by a registered political candidate, campaign committee or committee of a political party can be identified by using Tag 57 on the mailing containers. Use of Tag 57 with eligible campaign mailings is optional.

Mailings made by organizations other than those listed above, even if promoting or endorsing political candidates, referendums and so forth, are not classified as political campaign mailings and cannot use Tag 57.
