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. in Courtroom A on the third floor of the Penn Place Building.
