Fulton County approves HAVA-funded security upgrades for elections office doors and cameras
Summary
Fulton County commissioners on Dec. 9 approved a TelePlus keycard-fob installation and two additional cameras for the Voter Registration/Election Office and commissioners’ office door, to be paid from the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant ($3,000).
Fulton County commissioners voted Dec. 9 to use federal HAVA grant funds to strengthen security at the county’s election offices. The board approved a TelePlus keycard-fob installation for the Voter Registration/Election Office door and additional cameras above the Commissioners’ Office door and the Voter Registration/Election Office door, with a total cost of $3,000 to be paid from the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant.
The action came after a presentation from Voter Registration/Election Director Linda Doyle, who reviewed options and a TelePlus quote. Commissioners moved to authorize the work, with Commissioner Steven L. Wible making the motion and the board voting unanimously in favor. County IT contractor Rick Grissinger will install the two cameras as part of the project.
The allocation uses grant funds dedicated to elections security; the motion record indicates the cameras and keycard installation are intended to bolster physical access controls at both entry points. The board did not record additional details about the specific camera models, placement plans beyond the doors mentioned, or an installation timeline. The HAVA grant used for this work was identified in the meeting record as the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant.
Next steps: the county will proceed with the TelePlus installation and camera work under the approved $3,000 authorization. The transcript does not specify an installation date or further procurement steps.
