     &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Postal Service Improvement Act&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill requires mail-in ballots for federal elections to meet certain design and tracking requirements and revises authority to provide parental leave to postal employees.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Specifically, each mail-in ballot must be carried or delivered in an envelope that&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;contains a USPS barcode that enables tracking of each individual ballot, &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;satisfies USPS requirements for ballot envelope design and for machinable (i.e., able to be processed using USPS equipment) letters, and &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;includes the official election mail logo. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;The federal government must reimburse each state (including the District of Columbia and any U.S. territory or possession) for the cost of using the barcode service.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill also provides paid parental leave to officers and employees of the USPS and the Postal Regulatory Commission.&lt;/p&gt;
