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. Traditionally, this process begins on the Friday after elections.
However, according to County Election Director Emily Cook, adjudication will start on Thursday, November 6, at 9 a.m. on the third floor (courtroom A) of the Penn Place Building.
Cook stated that she has changed procedures to prioritize adjudication preparation, allowing for an earlier start. The adjudication process is open to the public.
Additional sessions will be scheduled as necessary to complete the process.
