A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Town of Evergreen, Wisconsin, regarding new voter registrations on November 7, 2024. The request was made by NC Wisconsin News, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The FOIA request specifically sought a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024. As part of the media organization's commitment to transparency and accountability in public institutions, access to such public records is deemed essential for fulfilling its professional responsibilities.
In the request, NC Wisconsin News highlighted its role in gathering and reporting news to the public and therefore requested a fee waiver as a media professional under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq. The organization expressed its preference for receiving the requested records in an electronic format.
NC Wisconsin News continues its dedication towards ensuring transparency in local government affairs and holding public institutions accountable through thorough reporting and analysis. This FOIA request is part of that ongoing commitment.
