FOIA Request to Town of Trimbelle Regarding New Voter Registrations on November 7, 2024.
We at WC Wisconsin News have formally requested records from the Town of Trimbelle under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., specifically seeking a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024.
As a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
We believe that as members of the media involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals. We look forward to the Town of Trimbelle's cooperation in providing these records in an electronic format for easy accessibility and dissemination.
Our request is part of our ongoing commitment to keeping our readers informed about important civic matters such as voter registration and participation. We will continue to seek out information that promotes transparency and accountability in our local government institutions.
