A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Village of Livingston regarding 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.
In our pursuit of transparency and accountability in public institutions, we at SW Wisconsin News requested a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024. This information is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
We have asked for these records under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., preferably in electronic format. As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as a media professional.
Our commitment remains firm in disseminating accurate information and providing comprehensive news coverage on local governmental affairs. We will continue our efforts in ensuring transparency and accountability within our community's public institutions.
We await the response from the Village of Livingston regarding this request and will keep our readers updated with any developments.
