Northampton County's Elections Office has provided two notices concerning the upcoming election on Tuesday. The first advises of a live dashboard from which you can follow results on election night. (It is my experience that the county website is the fastest and most accurate way to view results on election night). The second advises of the pre-canvass, which starts at 7 am election day, and the actual canvass (official count), which starts November 8.
Live Dashboard: The Northampton County Elections Office announces that unofficial election results will be available on a Live Dashboard on the county website after 8:00 PM on Election night, November 5, 2024. The Dashboard will reflect the unofficial results in real-time starting at 8:00 PM and will continue to be updated until every eligible ballot has been processed and counted.
Ballots cast by voters, either in-person or by Mail-In or Absentee ballot, are processed at varying times according to what is permitted by Pennsylvania Law. During higher turnout elections, this process may take longer to complete.
The unofficial results will not include write-in candidates’ results. Those will be reported when the canvass is finished.
The pre-canvass will begin at 7:00 AM on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. The official computation and canvass of the votes cast from the November 5, 2024 election will begin at 9:00 AM on Friday, November 8, 2024.
General Election results will not be official until they are certified by the Northampton County Election Commission.
Pre-canvass and canvass: Due Public Notice is hereby given that Northampton County Elections Office will convene at 7:00 AM on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, on the Lower Level of the Northampton County Government Center for the purpose of pre-canvassing the Mail-In and Absentee Ballots. The Northampton County Elections Office will meet in the Cafeteria on the Lower Level of the Northampton County Government Center, 669 Washington St. Easton, PA, at 9:00 AM, on Friday, November 8, 2024, to begin the official computation and canvass of the votes cast from the November 5, 2024 General Election.
Both pre-canvassing and canvassing are open to the public and media.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
