A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Town of Crystal Lake, Wisconsin on November 7, 2024. The request was made by SC Wisconsin News, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
In our pursuit of transparency and accountability in public institutions, we requested a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024. This information is crucial in understanding voter turnout and participation trends during the recent elections.
The request was made under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., with a preference for an electronic format delivery. As part of our commitment to disseminating information to the public, we also sought a fee waiver as a media professional.
At SC Wisconsin News, we believe that access to public records is essential in fulfilling our professional responsibilities. We continue to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency to the public through rigorous reporting and analysis.
We await the response from the Town of Crystal Lake and will keep our readers updated with any developments.
