Fulton County approves HAVA-funded keycard and camera upgrades for election office
Summary
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners authorized $3,000 from the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant to fund a TelePlus keycard-fob installation and Elect IT camera installations at the Commissioners' and Voter Registration office doors.
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners on Dec. 9 authorized using $3,000 from the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant to install a keycard-fob entry system and add security cameras at exterior office doors.
Voter Registration/Election Director Linda Doyle presented a TelePlus quote for a keycard-fob installation for the Voter Registration office door and noted that Elect IT technician Rick Grissinger will install separate cameras above both the Commissioners' Office door and the Voter Registration/Election Office door. Commissioner Steven L. Wible moved to approve the TelePlus quote and the use of HAVA grant funds; the board voted in favor.
The measures are recorded in the minutes as funded by the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant. The action covers physical access control (a keycard/fob installation) and additional camera coverage of public entry points to the county offices. The minutes do not record a timeline for installation or details about ongoing monitoring or data retention for camera footage.
Commission records show the motion passed without recorded opposition. The county will proceed with vendor installation and grant accounting as approved.
