County clerk seeks $8,300 election-security grant to buy accessible privacy booths for vote centers
Summary
Elections staff said each county receives $8,300 for election security; the clerk recommended using funds to buy 19 accessible privacy booths for five vote centers (fully reimbursable) to improve voter privacy and accessibility.
County elections staff (Speaker 12) told the court that each county is eligible for an $8,300 election-security grant. Staff recommended purchasing 19 accessible privacy booths to serve five vote centers and address concerns about visibility and accessibility at polling tables. Speaker 12 said the booths are easy to set up, wheelchair accessible and fully reimbursable by the grant.
Members discussed practical set-up concerns and agreed the items would be helpful; staff noted some counties have already received their booths and can share photos for reference. The court did not record a formal vote to purchase in this transcript segment but discussed next steps for procurement and reimbursement.
The clerk said the county would purchase supplies up front and then submit documentation for 100% reimbursement under the grant.
