FOIA Request to Mason County Election Division Regarding Pre-Election Voting Machine Test Reports on October 30, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at West Central Michigan News have submitted a request for records under the Michigan Freedom of Information Act § 15.231 et seq. This request specifically targets pre-election test reports for election voting machines in Mason County.
The requested information includes details such as the test date, machine manufacturer, machine model number, and the status of the machine (whether it passed or failed). We have asked for these records in an electronic format, preferably as a PDF document.
Access to public records is essential for us at West Central Michigan News to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These 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 will continue to keep you updated on this matter as more information becomes available.
