A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Town Of Willow Springs in Wisconsin, seeking information about new voter registrations on November 7, 2024. The request was made by SW Wisconsin News, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The request specifically asked for a list of voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024. This information is crucial for our reporting as it allows us to provide transparency and hold public institutions accountable. As a media organization, we believe that access to public records is essential for fulfilling our professional responsibilities.
We have requested these records under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., and have asked for them to be provided in an electronic format. We have also requested a fee waiver due to our role as a media professional involved in gathering and disseminating news to the public.
SW Wisconsin News continues its commitment towards providing comprehensive news coverage on local governmental affairs and ensuring transparency in public institutions. We await the response from the Town Of Willow Springs regarding this FOIA request.
