Luzerne County has scheduled a Dec. 8 public interview session for applicants interested in serving on county boards, including two seats opening on the election board.

Republican Alyssa Fusaro and Democrat Daniel Schramm will complete their election board terms at the end of this month, and both said they won’t be seeking reappointment.

County Council appoints citizens for two Democratic and two Republican seats on the board, including the two with expiring terms. The four council-appointed members select a citizen of any affiliation or no affiliation to fill the fifth seat and serve as board chair.

The volunteer board is a high-profile independent body because it oversees election procedures, makes determinations on flagged ballots and write-in votes, and certifies election results.
