FOIA Request to Cass County Clerk Regarding Candidates for 2025 Consolidated Elections on January 14, 2025.
In our continuous efforts to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at West Central Reporter have sent a request under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140. The request was sent to the Cass County Clerk's office seeking specific details about the candidates running in the upcoming 2025 Consolidated Elections.
The requested information includes candidate names, dates when they filed their candidacy, and the offices they are running for. As a media organization committed to transparency and accountability in public institutions, we believe this information is essential for providing our readers with a clear picture of the upcoming elections.
As part of our commitment to serving as a bridge between public institutions and citizens, we have requested these records preferably in an electronic format. We have also sought a fee waiver as a media professional given our role in disseminating important information to the public.
We will continue to work tirelessly in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public through our reporting. Please stay tuned for updates on this matter.
