FOIA Request to Navajo County Regarding Elections Voting Machines Pre-Election Test Report on October 30, 2024.
We at East Arizona News have officially submitted a request for records under the Arizona Public Records Law § 39.101 et seq., specifically seeking information about the pre-election test reports of voting machines used in Navajo County. The requested data, which we prefer in PDF format, includes the test date, machine manufacture, machine model number, and machine status (whether it passed or failed).
As a media organization dedicated to comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we believe access to such 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 to the public, we have also requested a fee waiver as media professionals. We await a response from Navajo County officials and will continue to keep our readers updated on this matter.
