Dear Hunterdon County Clerk,

Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-5(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.

I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.

I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Records requested:
Copies of all petitions received from candidates seeking election in the November 2025 general election, and copies of any challenges received to those petitions.

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.

Yours faithfully,

Charlie Kratovil

Dear Mr. Kratovil,
My office is only responsible for County filed petitions. Please advise an address to mail copies. Municipal petitions are with Municipal Clerks and State petitions are with the Secretary of State's office.
There have been no challenges.
Thank you.
