FOIA Request to Madison County Clerk Regarding 2025 Consolidated Elections Candidates on January 14, 2025. As part of our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Metro East Sun have submitted a request for public records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140.
The requested information includes a list of candidates running for the upcoming 2025 Consolidated Elections. We have asked for specific details such as the candidate's name, the date they filed their candidacy, and the office they are running for.
As a media organization, access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.
We await response from the Madison County Clerk's office and will keep our readers updated with any developments.
