FOIA Request to Town of Beecher Regarding 2024 Election Same Day Registered Voters on November 7, 2024.
As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at NE Wisconsin News have submitted a request under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., for records pertaining to new voter registrations from the recent election held on November 5, 2024.
The specific request is for a list of voters who registered to vote on the same day as the election. This information is vital in our ongoing efforts to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency to the public.
As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, access to such 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 a response from the Town of Beecher’s office and will continue our pursuit of truth and transparency in all matters concerning local government affairs.
