A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Town of Wingville on November 7, 2024. The request pertains to new voter registrations that took place on November 5, 2024.

We believe in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. This particular request for information is in line with our commitment to ensure that our readers have access to complete and precise information about their local government's activities.
The request was made under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., and we asked for the records preferably in an electronic format. We sought a list of new voters who registered on Election Day, November 5, 2024.
As media professionals involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. Therefore, we requested a fee waiver for this information.
