Pennsylvania Courts Will Expedite Appeals in 2024 Election Cases

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued an order Tuesday that will expedite the appeals processes for 2024 election cases in commonwealth courts ahead of November.

Currently, in cases involving Pennsylvania election law, parties have 10 days to appeal a court order or petition the commonwealth’s Supreme Court to review a lower court’s decision, not including weekends and holidays.

Under the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s recent order, which takes effect on Thursday, parties will only have a three-day appeal period, which will include weekends and holidays.

Also, parties must file briefs explaining their appeal to the court within 24 hours of notifying them that they will be appealing the case. Additionally, to speed up the process, objections to a party’s appeal must all be stated in merits briefs and cannot be submitted to the court in separate motions.
