FOIA Request to Centre County Election Department Regarding Pre-Election Voting Machine Test Reports on October 30, 2024. Keystone Today, a media organization dedicated to comprehensive and accurate news coverage of local governmental affairs, has requested records under the Pennsylvania Right to Know Law.
The request specifically seeks access to the pre-election test reports for voting machines used in the county's elections. The desired format is a PDF file with specific fields including the test date, machine manufacturer, machine model number, and machine status (whether it passed or failed).
As a media organization committed to transparency and accountability in public institutions, we believe access to these records is essential for fulfilling our professional responsibilities. We have therefore requested a fee waiver as part of this FOIA request.
We at Keystone Today continue our mission of keeping the public informed about important matters related to government and civic life. Accessing these records will enable us to provide comprehensive coverage of election-related processes and ensure transparency in how voting machines are tested before being used in elections.
Should there be any questions regarding this request, we are ready and willing to provide clarifications as needed.
