FOIA Request to Village of Genoa Regarding New Voter Registrations on November 7, 2024.
At SW Wisconsin News, we are committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs. In our ongoing efforts to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency to the public, we have sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Village of Genoa.
The request was made under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., and it seeks a list of new voters who registered on November 5, 2024. This information is crucial in ensuring that our coverage accurately reflects the voting landscape during this election period.
As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, access to such public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. We believe that we are eligible for a fee waiver as a media professional due to our role in disseminating information.
We look forward to cooperating with the Village of Genoa in this matter and will keep our readers updated on any developments.
