A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Town Of Eileen, Wisconsin, regarding new voter registrations on November 7, 2024.
As a part of our commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs at Northwoods Reporter, we requested records under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., specifically for a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024.
As media professionals involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.
We await a response from the Town Of Eileen's office regarding this request.
