A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Village of Hobart, Wisconsin, on November 7, 2024. The request pertains to the new voters who registered on the day of the election, November 5, 2024.
We at Green Bay Reporter are committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs. As part of our mission to ensure transparency and hold public institutions accountable, we have requested this information under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq.
The specific request is for a list of all voters who registered on Election Day itself. We believe that this information is crucial in ensuring a fair and transparent electoral process.
As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, access to such public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. We have also requested a fee waiver as media professionals given our role in disseminating information.
We look forward to cooperating with the Village of Hobart in obtaining this important information.
