# Dauphin County Election Board meeting 11/13/2026


**Body:** Dauphin County
**Date:** November 12, 2026
**Jurisdiction:** SLED

The Dauphin County Election Board met on November 13, 2026, and approved by motion the first certification of results from the November 3 general election. The board then discussed ballot drop-box access and distribution, including concerns about limited 24-hour access in the county’s northern area and the fairness of locations across the county. Election staff agreed to provide drop-box usage data by location and explore geolocation analysis before a fuller discussion at the second certification meeting the following week. No contract, purchasing, or other procurement activity was identified.

Public comment raised nighttime lighting and visibility concerns at polling locations. The board said staff would send a reminder to polling places about lighting and assess the reported issues. Members also noted that election staff had sufficient resources to service the drop boxes this year. No procurement-related spending action was taken.
