A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Village Of Hazel Green on November 7, 2024. The request, made by SW Wisconsin News, sought details about new voter registrations that occurred on November 5, 2024.
As a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at SW Wisconsin News believe access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These responsibilities include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
The requested information pertains specifically to voters who registered on Election Day. Understanding the number and demographics of these voters can provide valuable insights into voter engagement and potential barriers to registration in the lead-up to elections.
We hope that this information will contribute towards our ongoing efforts to inform the public about their local government's operations and processes. As a media organization, we have also requested a fee waiver for this request in accordance with our role in disseminating important information to the public.
We await a response from the Village Of Hazel Green regarding this request and will continue our mission of providing comprehensive news coverage for our readership in SW Wisconsin.
