A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Monroe County Election Department regarding the voting machines pre-election test report on October 30, 2024.
As part of our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Monroe County News have requested these records under the Pennsylvania Right to Know Law, 65 §66.1 et seq., preferably in electronic format.
The request specifically seeks a PDF format of the elections voting machines pre-election test report with the following fields: Test date, Machine Manufacture, Machine Model Number, and Machine Status (Pass or Failed).
We believe that access to public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities, which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.

We await a response from the Monroe County Election Department and will continue to keep our readers informed about developments in this matter.
