FOIA Request to Richmond County Election Department Regarding Upcoming Election Candidates on February 5, 2025.
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Union News have formally requested information under the North Carolina Public Records Law, G.S. §132-1 from the Richmond County Election Department.
Our request includes a detailed list of all candidates running in the upcoming election. We have asked for each candidate's first, middle, and last name, as well as the office they are running for and its jurisdiction. Additionally, we have requested information about each candidate's party affiliation.
Furthermore, we have sought all available contact information for each candidate. This includes their address, phone number, and email address.
As a media organization dedicated to holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public, access to these public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. We believe that our role in disseminating information makes us eligible for a fee waiver as a media professional.
We will continue to keep you updated as we gather and report news related to this upcoming election.
