Durham County Board of Elections - Election Official Supplemental Security Plan
Program Summary
To enhance the protection of staff and poll workers, the Durham County Board of Elections implemented a specialized security plan in addition to its existing emergency response (COOP). This plan emphasizes the physical safety of election officials by introducing key measures: GPS trackers with geofencing equipment, security escorts for transporting ballots and supplies, and on-site emergency alert badges for staff. Additionally, they collaborated with the County Office of Emergency Services to create an emergency ticketing system, ensuring that help can be dispatched quickly and accurately whenever an incident occurs.
