A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Village Of Sherwood on November 7, 2024. The request, made by Fox Cities News, a media organization committed to comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, sought information regarding new voter registrations.
Specifically, Fox Cities News requested a list of voters who registered on November 5, 2024. This request was made under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., with a preference for the data to be provided in an electronic format.
As a media organization, we at Fox Cities News believe that access to public records is crucial for fulfilling our professional responsibilities. These include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. In light of our role in disseminating information, we have also asked for a fee waiver as part of this request.
The aim of this request is to shed light on the number of same-day registrations during the election period. This information can provide valuable insights into voter engagement and participation rates in the Village Of Sherwood.
We await a response from the Village Of Sherwood and will continue to update our readers as more information becomes available.
