A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Town of Clayton regarding new voter registrations on November 7, 2024.
As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at SW Wisconsin News have requested records under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., specifically seeking a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024.
Access to public records is crucial for us in fulfilling our professional responsibilities which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.
We look forward to receiving these records in an electronic format for ease of access and dissemination. As always, we remain committed to bringing you the most accurate and timely information about your local government's activities. We will continue to follow this story closely and provide updates as more information becomes available.
