FOIA Request to Town Of Tainter Regarding New Voter Registrations on November 7, 2024.
In a continued effort to ensure transparency and accountability in our local government affairs, we at Chippewa Valley Times have submitted a request under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., for specific records pertaining to the recent election.
The request, sent on November 7, 2024, specifically seeks information about voters who registered on Election Day itself - November 5, 2024. This data is critical in providing comprehensive coverage of the election process and results.
As a media organization committed to delivering accurate news coverage of local governmental affairs, access to such public records is vital for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. This includes holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency for the benefit of our readership.
We believe that as media professionals involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we are eligible for a fee waiver for this request. We await a response from the Town Of Tainter regarding this matter.
We remain committed to providing our readers with up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of all matters relating to local governance and civic life.
