FOIA Request to Gates County Election Department Regarding Voting Machines Pre-Election Test Report on October 30, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at IBX News have submitted a request for public records under the North Carolina Public Records Law, G.S. §132-1.
Our request specifically pertains to the pre-election test reports of voting machines used in Gates County. We are seeking this information in a PDF format with specific fields that include the test date, machine manufacture, machine model number, and machine status (pass or fail).
As a media organization dedicated to holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public, access to these records is crucial for us. It enables us to fulfill our professional responsibilities and ensure that our audience is well-informed about the election process.
We believe that as media professionals involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we are eligible for a fee waiver. We await a positive response from the Gates County Election Department and will keep our readers updated on any developments.
Should there be any questions regarding our request, we are open for discussion and clarification.
