FOIA Request to Philadelphia County Election Department Regarding Pre-Election Voting Machine Test Reports on October 30, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at East Montgomery Times have formally requested records under the Pennsylvania Right to Know Law. The request was made specifically for the pre-election test reports of voting machines used in the upcoming elections.
The information sought includes details such as the test date, machine manufacturer, machine model number, and machine status (whether it passed or failed). We have asked for these records preferably in electronic format and in a PDF file.
As a media organization, access to public records is crucial for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. 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 and sharing it with our readership. As always, we remain committed to promoting transparency and accountability in local government affairs.
