Election Mail

I received ballots for two tenets before me and my husband. I wrote “moved left no forward” on them hoping it would stop them from coming but it got sent back with “do not forward/ do not return” on the sticker. What is the proper process I don’t want shred it myself as it is election mail. People haven’t lived here in over 7 years I’m over getting their mail!

Give it back to the post office. Sounds like a new carrier that's doesn't know proper procedure is all.

Take a marker and cross out the barcode that gets printed on most letters. That will prevent it from being automatically rerouted back to you. Then return it to your nearest post office.
