Fulton County approves HAVA-funded keycard, cameras for elections office
Summary
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners approved using the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant to fund a TelePlus keycard/fob installation and additional camera installations for the Voter Registration/Election Office, authorizing installation work and $3,000 in grant spending.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners on Dec. 9 authorized security upgrades at the Voter Registration/Election Office funded by the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant.
Voter Registration/Election Director Linda Doyle presented a TelePlus quote and discussed additional camera installations. Commissioner Steven L. Wible moved to approve a TelePlus keycard/fob installation for the Voter Registration/Election Office door and to authorize Elect IT technician Rick Grissinger to install separate cameras at the Commissioners' Office and the Voter Registration/Election Office doors, to be funded from the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant in the amount of $3,000. All commissioners voted in favor.
The action funds physical security improvements for the elections office and assigns installation work to county-contracted IT personnel. No additional county general-fund appropriation was recorded in the meeting minutes; the motion specifies use of the HAVA grant. The board's approval included both the TelePlus equipment/installation quote and the camera work referenced by the county's IT vendor.
The board took the vote as part of routine business and did not set further reporting or follow-up deadlines in the meeting record. The meeting record notes the item passed unanimously.
