Fulton County approves HAVA-funded security upgrades at election office
Summary
The Board of Commissioners authorized $3,000 from the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant to fund a TelePlus keycard fob installation at the Voter Registration/Election Office and directed Elect IT to install separate cameras above the Commissioners' Office and the election office doors.
Fulton County commissioners voted Dec. 9 to use $3,000 from the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant to purchase a TelePlus keycard fob system for the Voter Registration/Election Office and to fund installation of additional exterior cameras.
The measure, presented during a meeting with Voter Registration/Election Director Linda Doyle, was moved by Commissioner Steven L. Wible and recorded as approved unanimously. Elect IT’s Rick Grissinger will install separate cameras above the Commissioners' Office door and the Voter Registration/Election Office door, and a TelePlus quote for the keycard fob installation was accepted for payment from the HAVA grant.
County officials framed the purchases as security enhancements for the offices that process and store election materials; the approved amount specified in the motion is $3,000 and will be charged to the 2024 HAVA Elections Security Grant. No further timeline or vendor contract text was provided in the meeting minutes.
Next steps: the county will proceed with installation as described; commissioners did not set a separate follow-up date in the minutes.
