A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Village of Denmark regarding new voter registrations on November 7, 2024. The request, issued by Green Bay Reporter, a media organization committed to comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, sought access to public records under the Wisconsin Open Records Law.
Specifically, the Green Bay Reporter requested a list of voters who registered on Election Day, November 5, 2024. As members of the media, we believe in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Access to these records is crucial for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities.
We also requested a fee waiver as media professionals engaged in disseminating information to the public. We await a response from the Village of Denmark and will keep our readers updated with any developments.
