A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Town Of Dane in Wisconsin regarding new voter registrations on November 7, 2024.
As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Madison Reporter requested records under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., specifically for a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024.
Access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities, which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.
We look forward to receiving this information and will continue our efforts in promoting transparency within our local government. We will keep you updated as we receive more information regarding this request.
