A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Town of Castle Rock regarding new voter registrations on November 7, 2024. The request, filed by SW Wisconsin News, seeks a list of voters who registered on Election Day, November 5, 2024.
As a media organization dedicated to comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at SW Wisconsin News are committed to providing transparency and holding public institutions accountable. Access to such public records is crucial for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities.
The FOIA request was made under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., with a preference for the information in electronic format. Given our role in disseminating information to the public, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as a media professional.
We look forward to the Town of Castle Rock's cooperation in this matter and will keep our readers updated on any developments.
