A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the City of Juneau regarding new voter registrations on November 7, 2024. The request was made by Fond Du Lac Times, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The request specifically sought records under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., for a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024. Fond Du Lac Times expressed their commitment to gathering and reporting news to the public, emphasizing that access to public records is essential for them to fulfill their professional responsibilities.
These responsibilities include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. As such, Fond Du Lac Times believes they are eligible for a fee waiver as a media professional in line with their role in disseminating information.
Fond Du Lac Times has yet to receive a response from the City of Juneau regarding this request. They remain committed to ensuring transparency and accountability in local government affairs through diligent reporting.
