We obtained data on county commission candidates from the state Board of Elections
through a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) records request that was processed through SunshineRequest.com. The reason we had to go through a FOIA request is that the posted data no longer includes the addresses of candidates, which we need in order to match them to their voter registration data, so that we have demographic information.

If possible, we would like to arrange with the state Board of Elections to get this regularly without a formal records request each time.

The data is contained in this directory.
