Texas Votes Tuesday

Texas voters will cast ballots on Tuesday, November 3, for the state's midterm elections.

The main early voting site for Bexar County is located at 1103 S. Frio in San Antonio. Polls at this location operate from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Residents can use the My Voter Portal to check registration status, find voting locations, and view key dates.

The Secretary of State's office outlines specific eligibility requirements for voters. Candidates must be U.S. citizens and residents of the county where they register. Applicants must be at least 17 years and 10 months old at registration and turn 18 by election day. Convicted felons may vote if they have completed their sentence or probation. Courts may restrict voting rights for individuals declared mentally incapacitated.

State law restricts behavior inside polling places. Voters cannot use wireless communication devices within the voting room. This ban covers cell phones, cameras, tablets, laptops, and audio recorders. The rule applies to any device capable of capturing sound or images.

Clothing rules also apply. Individuals cannot wear shirts or other items displaying messages about candidates, ballot measures, or political parties inside the restricted area. This restriction holds regardless of whether the specific issue appears on the ballot. Firearms are prohibited in voting facilities. Law enforcement officers are exempt from this rule whether they are on duty or off duty.

Bexar County ballots include federal races, state contests, and local proposals. Not every voter receives the same ballot. School district residence determines which specific proposals appear for each elector. Additional county candidates are also listed for voters to consider.
