A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Delaware County Election Department regarding pre-election voting machine test reports on October 30, 2024.
The request, issued by North Delco News, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, sought access to public records under the Pennsylvania Right to Know Law. The specific information requested included the test date, machine manufacture, machine model number, and machine status (pass or fail) for each voting machine used in the county's elections.
At North Delco News, we believe that access to public records is essential for fulfilling our professional responsibilities. These include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. As such, we have requested these records in an electronic format and have asked for a fee waiver as a media professional.
We will continue our efforts to provide comprehensive coverage of local government affairs and ensure that our community has access to transparent and accurate information about their electoral processes.
