A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Village of Boyceville regarding new voter registrations on November 7, 2024.
We at Chippewa Valley Times, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, have formally requested a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024. The request was made under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., and we expressed a preference for receiving the information in an electronic format.
As a media organization, we are deeply involved in gathering and reporting news to the public. Access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. In light of our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.
The FOIA request aims to shed light on voter registration patterns and trends in the Village of Boyceville during the recent election period. We remain committed to keeping our readers informed about important civic matters such as this one.
We await a response from the Village of Boyceville's clerk office regarding this request and will update our readers as soon as more information becomes available.
