A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Town of Fairchild 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 Chippewa Valley Times have requested access to specific records under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq. Specifically, we are seeking a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024.
Our role as media professionals involves gathering and reporting news to the public. 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. Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.
We will continue our efforts in keeping the public informed about important matters such as these. Please stay tuned for updates regarding this request and other local government affairs.
