A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Town Of Wausaukee on November 7, 2024. The request was made by NE Wisconsin News, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The FOIA request specifically asked for a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024. This data is critical for our ongoing reporting efforts as it provides insights into voter participation and engagement in the recent elections.
As part of our mission at NE Wisconsin News, we believe in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Access to public records such as these is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities.
We have requested this information under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., and have asked that it be provided in an electronic format for ease of analysis and reporting.
Given our role in disseminating information to the public, we have also requested a fee waiver as a media professional. We are awaiting a response from the Town Of Wausaukee regarding this request.
Our team at NE Wisconsin News remains committed to keeping our readers informed about local government affairs. We will continue seeking access to public records that can shed light on these important issues.
