FOIA Request to Allegan County Election Division Regarding Pre-Election Voting Machine Test Reports on October 30, 2024.
We at Holland Reporter, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, have submitted a request under the Michigan Freedom of Information Act § 15.231 et seq. for records pertaining to pre-election voting machine tests.
Our request specifically seeks electronic copies of these reports in PDF format with details such as the test date, machine manufacturer, machine model number, and machine status (whether it passed or failed).
As journalists dedicated to holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public, access to these public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.
We await the response from Allegan County Election Division regarding this matter and will continue to report on developments as they unfold.
