Local candidates inserting campaign literature in mailboxes are violating the law.
Yazoo Postmaster Patricia Porter is cautioning all local political candidates not to use mailboxes for non-postal distribution of campaign literature.
“Only items for which postage has been paid belong, and are authorized to be, in mailboxes,” Porter said. “Using a mailbox to insert items from which postage has not been paid is a violation of the Private Express Statutes, and is therefore illegal.”
