A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to Yavapai County on October 30, 2024, by us at Yavapai News. The request seeks access to the pre-election test reports of voting machines used in the county's elections.
As a local news organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate coverage of governmental affairs, we are requesting these records under the Arizona Public Records Law § 39.101 et seq. We have specifically asked for the reports to be provided in an electronic format, preferably as PDF files.
The requested information includes specific details about each voting machine tested. This encompasses the date of testing, the manufacturer of the machine, its model number, and whether it passed or failed the test.
We believe 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 about their operations and processes. As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we have also requested a fee waiver for this information.
We continue to strive towards keeping our readers informed about local governmental affairs and ensuring that they are aware of how their votes are being handled. As always, we remain committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage for our community.
