A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to Yuma County, Arizona on October 30, 2024 by SW Arizona News. The media organization, known for its comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, requested access to records under the Arizona Public Records Law § 39.101 et seq.
The records sought by SW Arizona News pertain to pre-election test reports of voting machines used in the county's elections. The requested data includes the date of the tests, the manufacturer of the machines, their model numbers, and their status - whether they passed or failed the tests.
As a media organization committed to transparency and accountability in public institutions, we at SW Arizona News believe that access to such records is essential for our work. It allows us to provide our audience with reliable information about the integrity of voting systems in use in their communities.
In line with our role as a news outlet disseminating information to the public, we have requested a fee waiver for this FOIA request as per provisions for media professionals.
We await a response from Yuma County and will keep our readers updated on any developments regarding this matter.
