FOIA Request to Bryan County Election Department Regarding Information on Upcoming Election Candidates on February 5, 2025.
In a bid to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Savannah Standard have sent a request under the Georgia Open Records Act § 50.18.70 et seq., to the Bryan County Election Department. Our request specifically seeks information about all candidates running in the upcoming election.
The details requested include each candidate's first, middle, and last names, the office they are running for, the jurisdiction of that office, and their party affiliation. We have also asked for all available contact information for each candidate, including their address, phone number, and email address.
As a media organization committed to transparency and holding public institutions accountable, access to such public records is crucial for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. We believe this information will enable us to provide our readers with a comprehensive understanding of who is vying for their votes in the upcoming election.
We have also requested a fee waiver as part of our application due to our role as a media organization disseminating information to the public. We await the Bryan County Election Department's response and look forward to sharing this important information with our readers.
