A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Village of Casco regarding new voter registrations on November 7, 2024. The request was made by us at Green Bay Reporter, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The specific records requested under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., were for a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024. This information is essential for our ongoing reporting and analysis of local election activities.
As a media organization, we believe in the importance of holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Access to public records is crucial for us to fulfill these professional responsibilities. We also mentioned in our request that we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as a media professional due to our role in disseminating information.
We continue to wait for a response from the Village of Casco regarding this request. As always, we remain committed to delivering timely and accurate news about local government affairs to our readers.
