The National Change of Address Linkage is used by election officials in at least 36 states as part of their procedures to update voter rolls and identify voters whose addresses may have changed ... including battleground states like Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
unclear why the issue took place, with reported internal USPS documents describing it only as an unexplained “error,” and those who regularly use the system—including bulk mailers and other groups, along with election officials—described the outage to TIME as “highly unusual.”

The addresses were restored AFTER some states had already started mailing out mail-in ballots or ballot requests, and states had started compiling voter address data “long before” the issue was corrected, TIME notes.



Of those, many may have had a recent change of address, with a Pew survey in July finding that 22% of respondents had either moved during the Covid-19 pandemic or knew someone who did.
