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, November 6, at 9 a.m. on the third floor (courtroom A) of the Penn Place Building, 20 N.
Adjudication is the process of determining which flagged mail and provisional ballots are accepted or rejected and tallying write-in votes. The process is open to the public and additional sessions will be scheduled as necessary to complete it.
Cook attributed the earlier start to changes in procedures, prioritizing adjudication preparation.
