A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Franklin County Election Division on February 5, 2025. The request, made by North Egypt News, a media organization dedicated to comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, seeks detailed information about all candidates running in the upcoming election.
The FOIA request specifically asks for a list of all candidates that are running for office in the forthcoming election. The requested details include each candidate's first, middle, and last name; the office they are running for; the jurisdiction of the office; and their party affiliation.
In addition to these details, North Egypt News has also 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, North Egypt News believes it is essential to have access to such public records. These records will enable us to provide our readers with comprehensive coverage of the upcoming elections. We believe this falls within our professional responsibilities as journalists.
North Egypt News has also asked for a fee waiver for this request as part of its role as a media professional disseminating information to the public.
We at North Egypt News await a response from the Franklin County Election Division and remain committed to bringing our readers accurate and timely news about local government affairs.
