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.
According to County Election Director Emily Cook, the adjudication process will begin on Thursday, November 6, at 9 a.m. on the third floor (courtroom A) of the Penn Place Building.
Adjudication determines which flagged mail and provisional ballots are accepted or rejected and tallies write-in votes. The process is open to the public.
Traditionally, adjudication begins the Friday after elections, but Cook changed procedures to prioritize adjudication preparation, allowing an earlier start.
Additional sessions will be scheduled as necessary to complete the process.
Author's summary: Luzerne County Election Board's post-election adjudication starts sooner this year.
