A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the City Of Greenfield regarding new voter registrations on November 7, 2024.
The request, made by Milwaukee South News, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, sought records under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., specifically asking for a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024.
As a media organization, we are involved in gathering and reporting news to the public. Access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities which 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 City Of Greenfield and will continue to keep our readers informed about this matter.
