A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Town of Buchanan, Wisconsin, seeking information about new voter registrations on November 7, 2024. The request specifically asked for a list of voters who registered on Election Day, November 5, 2024.
As a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, Fox Cities News is committed to holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency for the public. Access to public records such as these is crucial in fulfilling these responsibilities.
The request was made under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., with a preference for receiving the records in an electronic format. As members of the media involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.
We await the response from the Town of Buchanan and will continue our work in keeping our readers informed about important civic matters.
