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, adjudication will begin on Thursday, instead of the traditional Friday after elections. This process determines which flagged mail and provisional ballots are accepted or rejected and tallies write-in votes.
Cook stated that she has modified procedures to prioritize adjudication preparation, allowing for an earlier start. The adjudication, which is open to the public, will start at 9 a.m.
