A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Village Of Shorewood regarding new voter registrations on November 7, 2024.
As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Milwaukee North News have requested access to specific public records under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq. The requested records pertain specifically to a list of voters who registered on Election Day, November 5, 2024.
Access to such public records is essential for us in fulfilling our professional responsibilities. These include holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency for the public we serve. As a media organization, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as per our role in disseminating information.
We will continue to keep you updated with any developments regarding this request and appreciate your understanding of our commitment to maintaining transparency in our local government affairs.
