Bexar County's Monday Voter Checklist: Tuesday Polls Run 7 to 7, Any Vote Center Works, and Rain Is in the Election Day Forecast
Monday is the last full day to get ready: Bexar County vote centers open Tuesday, November 3 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., registered county voters can vote at any open center, anyone in line by 7 p.m. can still vote — and the Weather Desk's Election Day call is rain showers at 71 percent, so the umbrella belongs in the plan.
Election Day in Bexar County runs on countywide vote centers. The county's official Notice of Joint General and Special Election puts Tuesday, November 3's vote centers open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., for federal, state and county races plus the local measures on Bexar ballots — the San Antonio charter election among them. Registered Bexar County voters can vote at any open Election Day polling location in the county, not only an assigned precinct, and a voter in line by 7 p.m. can still vote, per Plan Your Vote SA and the League of Women Voters of San Antonio's voter guides.
The practical details are Monday's homework. All voting centers in Bexar County have curbside voting, UT San Antonio's election guide notes; voters are prohibited from using electronic devices within 100 feet of polling locations but may bring a printed voter guide into the booth, per the same guide. The Bexar County Elections Department — 1103 S. Frio Street — answers voting questions at 210-335-8683, the number the county parties and the League both publish, and sample ballots and registration checks run through the county elections site and the Texas Secretary of State's portal.
And plan for the weather while planning the vote. The Weather Desk's overnight file puts Tuesday at a rain-shower code with the precipitation chance at 71 percent and a high of just 72.8 — the wettest, coolest day of the week. A morning vote before the heaviest showers, or an umbrella and extra minutes in the plan, is the desk's standing advice; polls are open the full twelve hours either way.
