A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Town of Wabeno in Wisconsin on November 7, 2024. The request, filed by NE Wisconsin News, seeks information about new voter registrations that occurred on November 5, 2024.
The FOIA request specifically asked for a list of new voters who registered to vote on that day. As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at NE Wisconsin News believe access to such public records is essential.
Our role as media professionals involves gathering and reporting news to the public. Accessing these public records allows 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 have requested a fee waiver as a media professional. We await a response from the Town of Wabeno regarding this request and will keep our readers updated with any developments.
