A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the City of Edgerton regarding new voter registrations on November 7, 2024. The request was made by us at Southern Wisconsin Times, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The specific records requested under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., are a list of voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024. As we continue our work in gathering and reporting news to the public, access to these public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities.
These responsibilities include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. We believe that as a media organization disseminating information, we are eligible for a fee waiver as per standard practice.
We await the response from the City of Edgerton and will keep our readers updated with any developments. Our goal remains steadfast - to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs in Southern Wisconsin.
