Luzerne County Election Board’s Post-Election Adjudication to Start Sooner
The Luzerne County Election Board’s post-election adjudication will begin earlier than in previous years, according to Election Director Emily Cook.
Adjudication is the process of determining which flagged mail and provisional ballots are accepted or rejected, and tallying write-in votes. Traditionally, this process starts on the Friday after elections.
Cook stated that she has changed procedures to prioritize adjudication preparation, allowing for an earlier start. The adjudication process will commence on Thursday, November 6, at 9 a.m. on the third floor (courtroom A) of the Penn Place Building.
The sessions will be open to the public, and additional sessions will be scheduled as necessary to complete the process.
