FOIA Request to York County Election Department Regarding Pre-Election Voting Machine Test Reports on October 30, 2024. As part of our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at York County News have submitted a request for records under the Pennsylvania Right to Know Law, 65 §66.1 et seq.
Our request is specifically for the pre-election test reports of the voting machines used in the county's elections. We have asked for these reports to be provided in PDF format and to include specific fields such as the test date, machine manufacture, machine model number, and machine status (whether it passed or failed).
As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These responsibilities 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 a media professional.
We await response from the York County Election Department regarding this request and will continue our efforts in ensuring transparency within our local government.
