A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Village of Catawba in Wisconsin on November 7, 2024. The request was made by NC Wisconsin News, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The specific information requested was a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024. As an organization committed to transparency and accountability in public institutions, we at NC Wisconsin News believe access to such records is essential for fulfilling our professional responsibilities.
As members of the media involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we consider ourselves eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals. We await the response from the Village of Catawba regarding this request and will continue our efforts to bring transparency and accountability to our audience.
