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 Jennifer Learn-Andes, adjudication determines the acceptance or rejection of flagged mail and provisional ballots and tallies write-in votes.
Traditionally, adjudication begins on the Friday after elections, but County Election Director Emily Cook has announced that it will start on Thursday, November 6, at 9 a.m. in Courtroom A on the third floor of the Penn Place Building.
Cook attributed the earlier start to changes in procedures, prioritizing adjudication preparation.
The adjudication process is open to the public, and additional sessions will be scheduled as necessary to complete the process.
