FOIA Request to Gladwin County Election Division Regarding Pre-Election Voting Machine Test Reports on October 30, 2024.
In a bid to ensure transparency and accountability in the electoral process, we at East Michigan News have sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Gladwin County Election Division. The request seeks access to records related to pre-election testing of voting machines used in the county.
The FOIA request specifically asks for the pre-election test report for election voting machines in PDF format with details such as the test date, machine manufacturer, machine model number, and machine status indicating whether it passed or failed.
As a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, East Michigan News believes that access to these public records is essential for fulfilling our professional responsibilities. These include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
Given our role in disseminating information, we have requested a fee waiver as a media professional under the provisions of the Michigan Freedom of Information Act § 15.231 et seq.
We await a positive response from the Gladwin County Election Division as we continue our mission of keeping our readers informed about matters of public interest.
