A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was submitted to the Adams County Clerk's office on January 14, 2025. The request, made by Quincy Reporter, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, seeks information about the candidates running in the upcoming 2025 Consolidated Elections.
The specifics of the request include obtaining a list of candidates with details such as their names, the dates they filed their candidacy, and the office for which they are running. This information is sought under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140, with a preference for an electronic format.
As a media organization committed to transparency and holding public institutions accountable, we at Quincy Reporter believe access to such public records is crucial in fulfilling our professional responsibilities. We have therefore requested a fee waiver for this information based on our role as media professionals.
We will continue to update our readers as we receive more information regarding this matter.
