Get ready to vote
- Confirm your current Bexar County registration information is correct or learn how to register to vote.
- Submit an application to vote by mail if you are eligible.
- Texas recently passed two laws designed to improve the mail-in balloting process.
- Learn what to expect when you vote in person.
- Obtain acceptable ID for voting. If you don’t have the listed photo ID, and could not reasonably get one, you can still vote by signing a form and bringing an acceptable alternate ID. It’s a good idea, but not required, to bring your voter registration card as well when you go to vote.
- Visit VOTE411.org or pick up a Voters Guide at a public library to see who and what is on your ballot so that you can vote informed.
- Find a Bexar County vote center where you’d like to vote at the Bexar County Elections website. Early voting sites are posted two weeks before early voting starts, and Election Day sites are posted shortly before that day.
- Visit Bexar County Elections Department or call 210-335-8683 for answers to all your voting and elections questions.
Protect yourself and election workers during the COVID-19 pandemic
If you plan to vote in person, minimize crowding and lines by:
- Deciding who you’ll vote for in advance, using VOTE411.org to learn about candidates and print your sample ballot with choices marked, or using the Voters Guide available on the home page and at all public libraries.
- Voting at off-peak hours—usually the middle of the morning or afternoon.
- Wear a mask, stay 6 feet apart from other voters, and carry a small container of hand sanitizer with you.
