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 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
