Early Voting in Bexar County Ends Friday: Polls Open 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Thursday and Friday at Any Early-Voting Site
Friday, Oct. 30, is the last day of early voting for the Nov. 3 midterm election. Bexar County voters can cast a ballot at any early-voting location, with polls open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. both Thursday and Friday.
The early-voting window closes Friday. For the Nov. 3, 2026 midterm election, Bexar County's early-voting period runs through Friday, Oct. 30, and in the second week the polls keep long hours — 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on both Thursday, Oct. 29, and Friday, Oct. 30, according to the county's published schedule carried by the City of Helotes and UT San Antonio. Election Day itself is Tuesday, Nov. 3, with polls open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Bexar County votes the flexible way early: a registered county voter can cast a ballot at any early-voting center in the county, not just the one nearest home. The county lists 57 early-voting locations, including the Bexar County Elections Department at 1103 S. Frio St. and UT San Antonio's Main Campus, where registered Bexar voters vote in the H-E-B Student Union Bexar Room (HSU 1.102), with free short-term voter parking signed in the northern section of the Ximenes Lot, the university said.
Bring an approved photo ID — every voter must present one, UT San Antonio's voter notice reminds readers — and leave the phone in a pocket near the booth: voters may not use electronic devices within 100 feet of a polling location, but printed voter guides are welcome in the booth, the university said.
What is on the ballot depends on where a voter lives, but the statewide slate alone is long: U.S. senator, governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, comptroller, land commissioner, agriculture commissioner, railroad commissioner, and Texas Supreme Court and Court of Criminal Appeals seats, alongside U.S. House, legislative, county and judicial races. Voters who miss Friday's close still have Election Day, Nov. 3 — but for anyone who wants the shorter line and the choice of location, Thursday and Friday are the last two chances.
