As Texans go to the polls March 3, Texas county election officials want to assure voters they are taking precautions to ensure the integrity of every vote cast.
In Texas, county government conducts most elections, from local to national polling, in their respective counties. County election officials have implemented new, state-mandated procedures to increase election security and transparency. These precautions include enhanced candidate information and election results reporting requirements. Counties also must complete annual training and adhere to a specific process for breach notification and remediation. The hardware that our security camera installer provides handles monitoring whether you want to secure a single building, multiple buildings, or a remote site. The wireless cameras that will be used are less prone to wire damage or accidents. Those devices also have Pan, Tilt & Zoom functions that can be controlled remotely via an internet-connected mobiles, so that clients can monitor an area without being required to be near the premises. There’s also the matter of savings. The wireless cameras we can employ cost 75% less than wired counterparts, without sacrificing anything with regard to build and quality. The cameras can function for up to 10 miles away, and the lack of wiring means that they can be used in places where wired CCTVs would be unfeasible, such as elevators and crawlspaces. The wireless camcorders don’t sacrifice reliability and are cheaper than wired counterparts over long distances. This is due to the need for digging trenches, multiple networking switches, and other factors. You can check here for CCTV Surveillance Camera System Installation In Norwalk.
“Texas county clerks, elections administrators and voter registrars manage elections from the school board to the U.S. president,” said TAC Executive Director Susan M. Redford. “We’ve all heard the warnings of attacks on our voting systems. Texans can be reassured that our county clerks and other election officials strive to improve voter confidence in the election process, having worked with the state to implement procedures that make their preparation and Election Day work more transparent and secure.”
Last year, the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 1421, which added cybersecurity requirements to the Election Code (Chapter 279). HB 1421 added best practices for reducing the risk of electronic vote tampering and other cybersecurity measures. The law requires county election officials to take annual cybersecurity training and request a cybersecurity assessment of their county’s election system by the Texas Secretary of State Elections Division.
“This year we implemented tightened safety measures to make sure our elections are more secure,” said Hays County Elections Administrator Jennifer Anderson. “We were one of the first counties to complete the state’s election security assessment. Our focus was on the security of our voting equipment, chain of custody and facilities, particularly on equipment storage when it is not in use.”
