Fulton County approves HAVA-funded security upgrades for election offices
Summary
The Fulton County Commissioners approved a TelePlus keycard/fob installation and additional camera installations at the Commissioners' Office and Voter Registration/Election Office to be paid from the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant, totaling $3,000.
Fulton County commissioners on Dec. 9 approved security upgrades to the county’s election offices funded by the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant. The board voted to accept a TelePlus quote for a keycard/fob installation at the Voter Registration/Election Office door and to have Elect IT install additional cameras above the Commissioners’ Office and the Voter Registration/Election Office door; funding for the work will come from the HAVA grant in the amount of $3,000.00.
Voter Registration/Election Director Linda Doyle met with the commissioners to review the grant and the TelePlus quote. The contract work includes the keycard/fob hardware and the installation of two cameras; Elect IT technician Rick Grissinger will perform the camera installations as part of the same grant-funded effort. Motion language in the record shows Commissioner Steven L. Wible moved to approve the TelePlus quote and the equipment installations, and the motion passed with the board voting "All in favor."
The action is recorded as an authorization to use the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant to enhance physical access control and camera coverage for the election office and the commissioners' exterior door. No implementation timeline beyond the approval and identification of installers was provided in the meeting record. The board’s approval allows staff to proceed with scheduling the installations and charging the stated $3,000 to the HAVA grant.
