A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Village of Mount Sterling in Wisconsin, seeking details about new voter registrations on November 7, 2024. The request was made by us at SW Wisconsin News, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The specific information sought in the FOIA request includes a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024. As part of our mission to provide transparency and hold public institutions accountable, we believe that access to such public records is essential.
We are committed to disseminating this information responsibly and accurately to the public. Given our role as a media organization, we have requested a fee waiver for this request under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq.
We will continue to follow up on this request and update our readers with any developments or findings.
