A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Wyoming County Election Department on October 30, 2024. The request, made by Northern Tier News, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, seeks access to pre-election voting machine test reports.
The specific records requested under the Pennsylvania Right to Know Law include the date of the tests, the machine manufacturer's details, machine model numbers, and their status - whether they passed or failed in these tests. The request specifically asked for these records in PDF format.
At Northern Tier News, we believe that access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These responsibilities include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we have requested a fee waiver for this information.
We will continue to follow up on this request and provide updates as more information becomes available.
