postal service to and from US - colleen - 10-06-2019
I got this info from a person living here who posted it to a group. I hope that the attached pdf file opens ok. That is the form which she received from her state where she wants to vote in a primary election in Nov.
Here are a few more things:
On October 17, 2018, the United States declared its withdrawal from the UPU, effective October 17, 2019, with the US planning to switch to self-declared rates.
The Universal Postal Union, established by the Treaty of Bern of 1874, is a specialized agency of the United Nations that coordinates postal policies among member nations, in addition to the worldwide postal system. Wikipedia
Well..there are always private services like FedEx. Maybe the USPS will now charge as much as the others. Or maybe he'll forget about this given all the other stuff happening.

The U.S. remains in the UPU. The threat to withdraw was just another stupid Trumpian outburst. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/25/business/universal-postal-union-withdraw.html
