As a team at Kenosha Reporter, we are committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs. The request was made under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq., and specifically asked for a list of new voters who registered to vote on November 5, 2024.
Our mission as journalists is to gather and report 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 Village of Twin Lakes and will keep our readers updated with any developments.
