Fulton County to use HAVA funds for voter-office keycard and camera upgrades
Summary
The Fulton County Commissioners approved using a 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant to pay TelePlus for a keycard fob installation and for Elect IT to add exterior office cameras, authorizing $3,000 in grant-funded security upgrades to the Voter Registration and Commissioners' office doors.
Fulton County Commissioners on Dec. 9 authorized the use of a 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant to fund physical security upgrades at the county’s Voter Registration office.
At the meeting, Voter Registration/Election Director Linda Doyle asked the board to approve a TelePlus quote for installation of a keycard fob system on the Voter Registration/Election Office door and to allow Elect IT to install separate cameras above the Commissioners' Office door and the Voter Registration/Election Office door. "to be funded by the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant in the amount of $3,000.00," the minutes state.
Commissioner Steven L. Wible moved to approve the TelePlus quote and the camera installations; the motion carried with all commissioners voting in favor. The approval authorizes vendor work and the grant drawdown but does not specify a project timeline in the meeting minutes.
The action follows the county's use of federal HAVA-related security funding for election administration safeguards. The board did not discuss additional line-item costs in the minutes beyond the $3,000 grant-funded amount.
Next steps recorded in the minutes: Rick Grissinger of Elect IT will install the cameras, and the county will proceed with TelePlus for the keycard fob installation. No further public-comment exchanges or dissent were recorded in the log.
