A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Village Of Yorkville regarding new voter registrations on November 7, 2024. The request was made by us at Racine Sun, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
We are specifically seeking a list of voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024. This information is sought under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., and we have requested that it be provided in an electronic format for ease of analysis and reporting.
As journalists, we believe in the importance of transparency and accountability in public institutions. Access to public records such as these is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. We aim to use this information to provide our readers with a clear picture of voter registration trends and activities in the lead up to the recent election.
Given our role in disseminating information to the public, we have also requested a fee waiver as a media professional. This request aligns with our commitment to making important civic information accessible and understandable for all members of our community.
We will continue to keep you updated on any developments regarding this request and look forward to sharing our findings with you once we receive the requested data.
