Fulton County to use HAVA funds for keycard and camera upgrades at election office
Summary
The board approved using the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant to pay a TelePlus keycard-fob installation and Elect IT camera installations for the Commissioners' and Voter Registration office doors, authorizing $3,000 in HAVA spending.
Voter Registration/Election Director Linda Doyle met with the Fulton County Board of Commissioners on Dec. 9 to review a TelePlus security quote and options to add cameras above the Commissioners' Office and the Voter Registration/Election Office doors. Commissioners approved the TelePlus keycard-fob installation and authorized Elect IT technician Rick Grissinger to install additional cameras; the minutes record that the work will be funded by the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant in the amount of $3,000.
Commissioner Steven L. Wible moved approval of the purchase and installation; the motion carried unanimously. The record shows the county also approved a separate TelePlus Extended Service Agreement (Silver) for system maintenance in 2026 for $14,040.56.
Why it matters: Physical security upgrades at the election office are funded with federal HAVA grant money intended to improve election administration and security. The minutes assign follow-up tasks for scheduling installation and for the elections office and IT to complete the work.
Next steps: Voter Registration and Elect IT staff to schedule installations and report back when work is complete.
