Fulton County approves HAVA-funded keycard and camera upgrades for elections offices
Summary
Fulton County commissioners approved a $3,000 TelePlus installation — keycard fob and camera work — to be paid from the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant after a presentation by Voter Registration/Election Director Linda Doyle. Installation will be performed by Elect IT.
Commissioner Steven L. Wible moved and the board unanimously approved a TelePlus quote to install a keycard fob system for the Voter Registration/Election Office door and to fund installation of separate cameras above the Commissioners' Office and the Voter Registration/Election Office doors from the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant in the amount of $3,000.00.
Voter Registration/Election Director Linda Doyle told the commission the work is part of security upgrades tied to the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant. Elect IT contractor Rick Grissinger will install the additional cameras, and the TelePlus work will add keycard fob access to the elections office. Commissioners recorded the motion as "all in favor."
The move draws on federal HAVA election-security money earmarked for physical and cyber protections for local election operations. The county recorded the specific contract approval and funding source during its routine business meeting; the board did not set a public timeline for completion in the minutes.
The TelePlus installation and camera work are scheduled to proceed under the county's existing procurement procedures and will be implemented by Elect IT personnel once vendor scheduling and onboarding steps are completed.
