Iraq Post Offices Close Nov. 17, 2011

Because U.S. Forces are coming home from Iraq by the end of the year, the U.S. Postal Service will stop accepting mail addressed to military post offices in Iraq starting Nov. 17. Military post offices in Iraq also will stop processing mail Nov. 17, and servicemembers there should begin now to advise those who send them mail about the Nov. 17 deadline. U.S. Servicemembers in Iraq who do not receive an absentee ballot by Nov. 17 should contact their U.S. Local Election Office to change their address. Unit voting assistance officers can provide state-specific voting details.
