A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Town of Butler, Wisconsin, regarding new voter registrations on November 7, 2024. The request was made by WC Wisconsin News, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
In our pursuit of transparency and accountability in public institutions, we requested a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024. This information is vital for us at WC Wisconsin News as it aids in our reporting and provides clarity for the public about their local government's activities.
We made this request under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., with a preference for an electronic format for ease of access and distribution. As a media organization committed to informing the public, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver.
Our commitment at WC Wisconsin News is to keep the public informed about their local government's actions. Access to such records allows us to fulfill our professional responsibilities effectively.
We look forward to cooperating with the Town of Butler in obtaining this information and will continue our work in providing comprehensive news coverage on local governmental affairs.
