Lancaster County Election Board schedules pre‑canvass at 7 a.m., canvass at 8 p.m.
Summary
The Lancaster County Election Board voted unanimously to have staff begin pre-canvass operations at 7:00 a.m. and start canvass work at 8:00 p.m. on May 19, 2026. The decision was made in a short, procedural meeting that also acknowledged volunteer support.
The Lancaster County Election Board voted unanimously on May 19, 2026, to direct staff to begin pre‑canvass operations at 7:00 a.m. and to begin the canvass at 8:00 p.m. The motion was made by Commissioner Joshua G. Parsons and seconded by Commissioner Alice Yoder, and the board recorded the motion as passed without dissent.
The scheduling directive is procedural: it sets start times for the board's pre‑canvass and canvass workflows but does not alter policy or staffing levels in the transcript. The official record states: "On motion of Commissioner Parsons, seconded by Commissioner Yoder, it was agreed that the staff of the Board of Elections start the pre-canvass process at 7:00 a.m., and then at 8:00 p.m. to begin the canvass process." The transcript records the motion as "passed unanimously."
