A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Vermilion County Clerk's office on January 14, 2025. The request was made by Chambana Sun, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The request seeks information about the candidates running for the 2025 Consolidated Elections. Specifically, Chambana Sun is asking for a list of candidates with their names, the dates they filed their candidacy, and the offices they are running for.
As part of our commitment to transparency and accountability in public institutions, we at Chambana Sun believe that access to such public records is crucial. It allows us to fulfill our professional responsibilities which include providing comprehensive news coverage and holding public institutions accountable.
Given our role in disseminating information to the public, we have also requested a fee waiver as a media professional under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
We will continue to keep our readers updated as we receive more information regarding this matter.
