FOIA Request to City of Mauston Regarding New Voter Registrations on November 7, 2024.
We at SW Wisconsin News, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, have formally requested records under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., from the City of Mauston. The request specifically asks for a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024.
As a media organization dedicated to holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public, access to these public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. We believe that we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals due to our role in disseminating information.
We await the City of Mauston's response and will continue our commitment towards providing comprehensive news coverage on local governmental affairs.
