FOIA Request to Jersey County Clerk Regarding 2025 Consolidated Elections Candidates on January 14, 2025.
As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Metro East Sun have sent a request under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140. The request is for the Jersey County Clerk to provide a list of candidates running in the upcoming 2025 Consolidated Elections.
The information sought includes the names of the candidates, the dates they filed their candidacy, and the offices they are running for. This data is crucial for us to keep our readers informed about their potential representatives and the dynamics of the upcoming elections.
As a media organization, we believe in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Access to such public records is essential for us to fulfill these professional responsibilities. We also requested a fee waiver as a media professional, considering our role in disseminating information to the public.
We look forward to receiving this information from the Jersey County Clerk's office and will continue striving towards transparency and accountability in local government affairs.
