FOIA Request to Chowan County Election Department Regarding Information on Upcoming Election Candidates on February 5, 2025.
In a continued effort to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at IBX News have submitted a request for public records under the North Carolina Public Records Law, G.S. §132-1.
Our request is focused on obtaining detailed information about all candidates running in the upcoming election. Specifically, we have asked for each candidate’s first, middle, and last name; the office they are running for; the jurisdiction of that office; and their party affiliation.
In addition to this basic information, we have also requested contact details for each candidate. This includes their address, phone number, and email address.
As a media organization dedicated to transparency and accountability in public institutions, access to these public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. We believe that providing this information will not only inform the public but also contribute significantly towards maintaining transparency in our democratic processes.
We remain committed to serving as a reliable source of news for our audience and continue to work diligently towards holding public institutions accountable. We look forward to sharing more updates as we receive responses from the Chowan County Election Department regarding our request.
