A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Town Of Grant, Wisconsin, regarding new voter registrations on November 7, 2024. The request was made by WC Wisconsin News, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The FOIA request specifically sought a list of voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024. As members of the media, we at WC Wisconsin News are involved in gathering and reporting news to the public. Access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities, which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals. We await a response from the Town Of Grant regarding this request and will continue our efforts in ensuring transparency and accountability in local government affairs.
