Election certificate requirements discussed for Luzerne County Nov. 4 general election winners

Nov. 4 general election write-in winners must submit acceptance paperwork to Luzerne County’s Election Bureau by Monday if they are eligible for the elected office and interested in serving, county Election Director Emily Cook said this week.

Paperwork is necessary for write-in winners to receive an election certificate required for candidates to take the oath of office, she said.

The subject came up during Wednesday’s county Election Board meeting because a candidate in Freeland borough expressed concern that he had not yet received acceptance paperwork the county Election Bureau mailed to all write-in winners.

Cook said write-in winners can visit the Election Bureau to obtain a copy of the paperwork if it did not arrive. The bureau is in the county’s Penn Place Building at the corner of Market Street and Pennsylvania Avenue in Wilkes-Barre.
