A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Juneau County Election Department in Wisconsin on October 30, 2024. The request, made by The Sconi, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, seeks information about the methods being used to count ballots in the upcoming election.
The request specifically asks for details about whether the ballots are being counted manually or using some other method. If manual counting is being employed, The Sconi has also requested an estimate of the number of people who will be working on election night.
As part of our mission at The Sconi, we believe in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Access to such public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. We have therefore requested a fee waiver as a media professional under the Wisconsin Open Records Law, §19.31 et seq.
We look forward to receiving this information from the Juneau County Election Department and sharing it with our readers. As always, we remain committed to delivering comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
