County vote tabulation of Nov. 5 election is complete

Tabulation of all votes from Crawford County in the Nov. 5 election has been completed. It is now subject to public review before final official certification of results by the Crawford County Board of Elections.

There were no changes in the local outcome of races on the ballot.

Tabulation was completed Thursday shortly before 4 p.m. and now are on public display in the Commissioners Office at the Crawford County Courthouse, 903 Diamond Park, Meadville, as well as online.

The results must be on display for a minimum of five days as required by state law. Any challenges to them would have to be filed with the Crawford County Court of Common Pleas by Tuesday. The election board will convene at 9:30 a.m. Nov. 22 in the Commissioners Office to certify the results, if there are no challenges.

Crawford County's official recount of the U.S. Senate race between Democratic Party candidate Bob Casey and Republican Party challenger Dave McCormick begins Monday at the courthouse. It will be part of a statewide recount of that race.

A link to a full listing of tabulation results as of the first signing is available on the county's website, crawfordcountypa.net . The tabulation results won't be official until the completion of the challenge period and the second signing.
