FOIA Request to Livingston County Election Division Regarding Pre-Election Voting Machine Test Reports on October 30, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Livingston Today have submitted a request for records under the Michigan Freedom of Information Act § 15.231 et seq.
Our request is specifically for the pre-election test reports of the elections voting machines in Livingston County. We have asked that these records be provided in PDF format and include specific fields such as the test date, machine manufacture, machine model number, and machine status (whether it passed or failed).
As a media organization 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 look forward to receiving this information from the Livingston County Election Division and will continue to keep our readers informed about developments in this area.
