FOIA Request to Village of Bayside Regarding New Voter Registrations on November 7, 2024.
In our continued commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Milwaukee North News have submitted a request under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., for specific records from the Village of Bayside.
The requested records include a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024. This information is critical in our role as media professionals tasked with holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency for the public.
As part of our journalistic duty, we believe it's important to scrutinize and report on the processes surrounding voter registration and participation in elections. By obtaining these records, we aim to provide our readers with a clear picture of voting trends and behaviors in their community.
We have asked that these records be provided in an electronic format for ease of access and analysis. We also requested a fee waiver given our role as a media organization disseminating information to the public.
We await a response from the Village of Bayside regarding this request. We remain dedicated to providing our readers with accurate, timely information about their local government and its operations.
