A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Village of Valders in Wisconsin on November 7, 2024. The request, made by EC Wisconsin News, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, sought information about new voter registrations.
Specifically, EC Wisconsin News requested a list of voters who registered on Election Day, November 5, 2024. As we at EC Wisconsin News strive to uphold our commitment to transparency and accountability in public institutions, access to such public records is crucial.
We believe that this information will contribute significantly towards our ongoing coverage of the election process and its outcomes. It will also help us provide our readers with an in-depth understanding of the extent of citizen participation in these crucial democratic processes.
As part of the media community dedicated to gathering and reporting news to the public, we have asked for a fee waiver for this request. We hope that this will facilitate smoother access to essential public records as we continue our work in disseminating important information to the public.
We await a positive response from the Village of Valders and remain open for any questions or clarifications they may need regarding our request.
