FOIA Request to Scotland County Election Department Regarding Pre-Election Voting Machine Test Reports on October 30, 2024.
As a part of our commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at South North Carolina News have requested specific records under the North Carolina Public Records Law, G.S. §132-1.
Our request is focused on obtaining the pre-election test reports for election voting machines in electronic format, specifically in PDF. The fields we are interested in include the test date, machine manufacture, machine model number, and the machine status indicating whether it passed or failed.
Access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. As members of the media involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.
We look forward to sharing this information with our readers once received and analyzed.
