FOIA Request to Town of Calamus Regarding New Voter Registrations on November 7, 2024.
We at Fond Du Lac Times have sent a request under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., to the Town of Calamus. The request, dated November 7, 2024, seeks information about new voter registrations that took place on November 5, 2024.
As a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we believe it is essential to have access to public records. This access allows us to fulfill our professional responsibilities which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
The requested information will shed light on the number of new voters who registered on Election Day in the Town of Calamus. We have asked for this data in electronic format for ease of analysis and reporting.
Given our role in disseminating information to the public, we also requested a fee waiver as a media professional. This practice is common among journalists and news organizations seeking access to public records for reporting purposes.
We await a response from the Town of Calamus and look forward to sharing this important information with our readers.
