FOIA Request to Town of Elba Regarding New Voter Registrations on November 7, 2024.
In our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Fond Du Lac Times have sent a request under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., to the Town of Elba. The request, dated November 7, 2024, specifically seeks a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024.
As a media organization dedicated to holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public, access to such records is essential for us. This information will allow us to report accurately on the number of same-day voter registrations during the recent election and further analyze voting trends in our community.
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 Elba and will keep our readers updated with any developments.
