A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Town of Aurora regarding a list of new voter registrations that were made on November 5, 2024. The request was made on November 7, 2024.
We at SC Wisconsin News are committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs. In line with this commitment, we have sought these records under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., preferably in an electronic format.
As members of the media, our role involves 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 Town of Aurora and will keep our readers updated on any developments regarding this request.
