A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Village of Little Chute in Wisconsin on November 7, 2024. The request was made by Fox Cities News, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
In the request, we sought access to records under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., specifically requesting a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024.
As part of our commitment to transparency and accountability in public institutions, we believe that access to these records is essential for fulfilling our professional responsibilities. We underscored this point in our communication with the Village of Little Chute and requested a fee waiver as a media professional.
Our team at Fox Cities News continues to be dedicated to gathering and reporting news that is important for the public's understanding of their local government's activities. This FOIA request is part of our ongoing efforts to provide clear and accurate information about voting patterns and trends in our community.
We will keep our readers updated as we receive more information regarding this request.
