Action progress bars no longer are interrupted when a new action is added to a Sim's queue.
Fixed in Patch 1.68.154/ 1.33

This sounds like normal behavior with EL and most of it is NAP induced.
First thing I suggest you do is go to game options and uncheck Enable NPC voting. That way the only sims that will vote will be your active sims.
Then, you can set up a repeal of the NAPs you don't want running on the mailbox and vote in those that you do want. With only your active household voting, you only have to cast one vote too. This has worked for me in the current zone where I am playing. I have not tried to repeal one yet though.
And, you will need to do the repeal and vote in a new one (or not) in any zone where you find the annoying one. I play a long term save with sims in almost every zone in every world so I will have to go into every zone and do the repeal and vote in the NAPs I want. Going to take a long time since it takes 4 weeks to set the 4 active NAPs for each zone.
If you turn off NPC voting before any get enacted anywhere, then they don't get enacted so you don't have to worry about them. Depending on how you play, it might be easier to start a new game, shut off NPC voting and play from there.
Hope this helps.
@CGrant56 Thanks🙂 Unfortunately, repealing doesn't stop the behavior in my game (and I'm reading that many others are experiencing something similar):/
As it stands, there are only 2 or 3 N.A.P.s that aren't causing repetitive behavior/override issues--I'm hoping we'll get a fix that allows us to use the feature as intended. Starting a fresh save & using workarounds is definitely an option, but it'd be sad if we had to drop our long-running saves to play.
