As part of our ongoing commitment to transparency and accountability in local government affairs, we at WC Wisconsin News have submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the City of Buffalo City. The request, sent on November 7, 2024, seeks access to public records detailing new voter registrations that took place on November 5, 2024.
The Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., provides us with the right to access such information. As a media organization dedicated to comprehensive and accurate news coverage, we believe it is essential for us to have this data. It will enable us to provide our readers with insight into the democratic process and voter participation rates in the city.
We are confident that the City of Buffalo City will recognize the importance of this request and respond accordingly. We are committed to holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency for our readership. Given our role in disseminating information, we have requested a fee waiver as a media professional.
We await the city's response and look forward to sharing these important details with our audience soon.
