Who can vote in person

All registered voters in Texas can vote in person, either during Early Voting or on Election Day.


Where to vote

Voters registered in Bexar County can vote at any Bexar County polling center during Early Voting and on Election Day.

  • Find a Bexar County vote center where you’d like to vote at the Bexar County Elections Department. Early voting sites are posted two weeks before early voting starts, and Election Day sites are posted shortly before that day.
  • Don't have computer access? Call the Bexar County Elections Department at 210-335-8683 to ask where your nearest vote center is.

When to vote

  • For every election there is a period of days before Election Day when any voter registered in Bexar County can vote.
  • Check the Bexar County Elections site close to the first day of Early Voting to confirm dates and times.
  • Don't have computer access? Call Bexar County Elections Department at 210-335-8683 to find out vote center hours.
  • Election Day hours are always 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Don't leave if you are still in line when the vote center is scheduled to close—you have the right to remain in line and vote!

Check-in process

  • When you arrive at the polls, you will check in with a poll worker.
    • You are required to show an acceptable form of photo identification (see ID for Voting)
    • Showing your voter registration card will make check-in more efficient, as well as provide proof of registration, although it is not required.
    • You will be be asked to sign a form
  • The poll worker will give you a ballot card and direct you to a touchscreen voting machine

Three-part voting process

  1. Insert your ballot card into the voting machine.
  • Before selecting candidates, you can select either English or Spanish language.
  • Once you see the first page of the ballot you can adjust the font size and contrast.
  • Use the touchscreen to make your candidate selection for each contest.
  • Press "print ballot" once you have made all your selections and double-checked them.
  • The machine will return the ballot card to you with your selections printed on it.
  1. Check the printed ballot card to confirm it contains the selections you made. If something is incorrect on your printed ballot card, ask for a new ballot card—it is your right!
  2. Take the printed ballot card to the "tabulator" machine and insert it—this is the actual voting or casting of your ballot.

The video below shows you how to use the voting machines.
