A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Town of Wonewoc regarding new voter registrations on November 7, 2024. The request was made by us at SW Wisconsin News, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The specific records requested under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., are a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024. This information is sought in electronic format for ease of access and dissemination.
As a media organization, we are involved in gathering and reporting news to the public. Access to public records is essential for us to fulfill 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 have asked the Town of Wonewoc to contact us if they have any questions regarding this request. Our commitment remains steadfast in delivering accurate and comprehensive news about local government affairs for our readership.
