A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Village Of Iola regarding new voter registrations 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 our pursuit of transparency and accountability in public institutions, we sought a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024. This information is essential for us at Fox Cities News as it aids in our mission to keep the public informed about important developments within their communities.
As a member of the media, we believe that access to public records is crucial in fulfilling our professional responsibilities. Given our role in disseminating information to the public, we requested a fee waiver as a media professional under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq.
We await the response from the Village Of Iola and will continue our efforts to provide comprehensive news coverage for our readers.
