Luzerne County Election Board’s Post-Election Adjudication to Start Sooner
The Luzerne County Election Board’s post-election adjudication will commence earlier than in previous years.
Adjudication is the process of determining which flagged mail and provisional ballots are accepted or rejected, and tallying write-in votes. According to County Election Director Emily Cook, the necessary information for the November 4 general election will be prepared to start adjudication on Thursday, rather than the traditional Friday after elections.
Cook attributed the earlier start to changes in procedures that prioritize adjudication preparation. The adjudication process, which is open to the public, will begin at 9 a.m. on November 6, in Courtroom A on the third floor of the Penn Place Building, located at 20 N.
Additional sessions will be scheduled as necessary to complete the process.
