A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the Jersey County Il Elections Division on February 5, 2025. The request was made by us at Metro East Sun, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The request seeks information about all candidates running in the upcoming election. Specifically, we have asked for the following details: the candidate's first, middle, and last names; the office they are running for; the jurisdiction of that office; and their party affiliation.
Additionally, we have requested contact information for each candidate. This includes their address, phone number, and email address.
As a media organization committed to transparency and accountability in public institutions, access to such public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. We believe this information will help provide clarity and transparency about the candidates participating in the upcoming elections.
We also indicated our eligibility for a fee waiver as a media professional involved in gathering and reporting news to the public. We look forward to receiving this important information from the Jersey County Il Elections Division promptly so that we can continue our work in informing our readership about local governmental affairs.
