FOIA Request to Alexander County Election Division Regarding Upcoming Election Candidates on February 5, 2025.
In our continuous effort to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Southern Illinois News have submitted a request under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140. We are seeking detailed information about all candidates running in the upcoming election.
The requested records include each candidate's first, middle, and last name. We have also asked for details about the office they are running for and its jurisdiction. The party affiliation of each candidate is another crucial piece of information we've requested.
To ensure thorough reporting, we've also asked for complete 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 these public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. Given our role in disseminating information to the public, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as a media professional.
We look forward to sharing this important information with our readers as soon as it becomes available.
