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 she and her staff will have all necessary information prepared to start on Thursday, allowing for an earlier commencement.
Cook stated that she changed procedures to prioritize adjudication preparation, enabling an earlier start.
The adjudication process, which is open to the public, will begin at 9 a.m. on November 6, on the third floor (courtroom A) of the Penn Place Building, 20 N.
Additional sessions will be scheduled as necessary to complete the process.
