August 14, 2026
You have submitted an Open Public Records Request and have indicated your
preferred method of delivery is email.
 
Your request: See attached below.
 
Please be advised that the records you are requesting are maintained by three
departments of the Atlantic County Election process. This would be the Board of
Elections, Superintendent of Elections, and the County Clerk’s office, for which
I am not the Records Custodian.  These entities maintain their own records.  As
such, your request should be submitted to these three offices. I have cc’d
Breanne Rybak and Michelle Konopka of the Board of Elections, Maureen Bugdon and
Audrey Miles of the Superintendent of Elections, and Charley Phy and Joe Giralo
of the County Clerk’s office on this email for your convenience. After
forwarding your request, the Atlantic County Law Department will close out your
request with our office.
 
Sincerely,
 
Giuseppina Vetrano

Hello,
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:
1) copies of all candidate petitions filed for Board of Education contests in
the 2026 general election
2) copies of any challenges received to the aforementioned petitions
3) documentation of any determinations made related to the aforementioned
petitions

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as
attachments. If the files are too big to email, you can share a Google Drive
folder with my gmail (ckratovil), or use a file transfer service like
WeTransfer.com.

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
