Fulton County approves $3,000 HAVA-funded security upgrades for election offices
Summary
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners authorized a $3,000 expenditure from the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant to install a TelePlus keycard fob at the Voter Registration/Election Office and additional cameras installed by Elect IT.
Fulton County commissioners voted Dec. 9 to approve a $3,000 security upgrade for the county’s election offices, using funds from the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant. The work covers a TelePlus keycard fob installation for the Voter Registration/Election Office door and installation of separate cameras above both the Commissioners’ Office and the Voter Registration/Election Office.
The vote followed a presentation by Linda Doyle, Voter Registration/Election Director, and a technical note that Rick Grissinger of Elect IT will install the cameras. Commissioner Steven L. Wible moved to approve the TelePlus quote and grant-funded installation; the minutes record the motion as carried with all in favor.
Why it matters: The HAVA grant is federal election security funding intended to strengthen physical and cyber protections for election administration. The county’s action allocates the small, specified sum toward physical access control and cameras at contested entry points.
Details and next steps: The transcript records the TelePlus quote and a $3,000 allocation from the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant. The record notes Elect IT will install the cameras; the minutes do not list an installation timetable or contract number. The commission recorded unanimous approval; the motion was entered by Commissioner Wible and approved at the meeting.
