A new exhibition at the Smithsonian 's National Postal Museum opens Saturday .

It lays out a timeline that begins with the Civil War election of 1864 , which is considered the start of large-scale use of voting by mail in the U.S. The museum is counting on the public to help more fully tell the story going forward with historical objects.

An informational card the U.S. Postal Service sent in 2020 to help voters prepare to vote during the COVID-19 pandemic.

There was some backlash to this postcard, and they ended up having to correct the information.

“The messaging around voting by mail is so challenging,” Villar says.
