Fulton County OKs $3,000 HAVA-funded keycard and camera upgrades for election offices
Summary
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners approved a TelePlus keycard/fob installation and additional cameras for the Commissioners' and Voter Registration offices to be funded by a 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant totaling $3,000.
Fulton County commissioners on Dec. 9 authorized election-office security upgrades using a 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant.
Voter Registration/Election Director Linda Doyle asked the board to approve a TelePlus quote for a keycard fob installation at the Voter Registration/Election Office entrance and to fund separate cameras above the Commissioners' Office door and the Voter Registration office door. Elect IT installer Rick Grissinger will handle the camera installations. Commissioner Steven L. Wible moved to approve the TelePlus quote; the motion carried.
The board recorded the funding source for the work as the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant and the approved amount as $3,000. Commissioners discussed the installation in a routine consent item and approved the related motion without further conditions.
The action adds physical access control (keycard/fob) at the voter registration office and new surveillance cameras at two public entrances. The board did not discuss specifications for camera make/model, retention period for recordings, or who will have access to footage during the public meeting; those operational details were not specified in the record.
The vote on this item was recorded as a motion by Commissioner Wible and was adopted by the board. The meeting continued with other consent and grant items and adjourned at 11:02 a.m.
