FOIA Request to City of Omro Regarding New Voter Registrations on November 7, 2024.
In our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Fox Cities News have sent a request under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., to the City of Omro. The request, dated November 7, 2024, specifically asks for a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024.
As part of our mission to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency to the public, access to these public records is essential. We believe that this information will shed light on the number of same-day registrations during the recent election and help us analyze their potential impact on the election results.
We have requested these records in an electronic format for ease of analysis and dissemination. Given our role as a media organization in disseminating information to the public, we have also asked for a fee waiver.
Our aim is not only to report but also to educate and inform our readers about their local government's operations. We believe that transparency in these matters contributes significantly towards fostering trust between citizens and their elected officials.
We await a response from the City of Omro regarding this request and will keep our readers updated on any developments.
