FOIA Request to Leelanau County Election Division Regarding Voting Machines Testing Report on October 30, 2024.
As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at North Michigan News have sent a request for records under the Michigan Freedom of Information Act § 15.231 et seq. to the Leelanau County Election Division.
The request specifically seeks the pre-election test report for election voting machines in PDF format with specific fields including the test date, machine manufacture, machine model number, and machine status (whether it passed or failed).
Access to these public records is essential for us at North Michigan News to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. As members of the media involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.
We await a response from the Leelanau County Election Division and will continue our efforts in ensuring transparency and accountability in local government affairs.
