SB 5010 Washington Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Creating an election security camera grant program.

SB 5010 creates a state grant program to help counties buy and install security cameras around ballot drop boxes. Only county auditors and elections directors can apply for these grants, which cover camera purchase, installation, or connection costs but cannot fund ongoing maintenance. The program aims to enhance physical security at ballot drop locations by providing dedicated funding for hardware, with no restrictions on camera placement or use beyond the specified purpose.
