More people voted during the second day of early voting than on the first day, according to new statistics released by the Bexar County Elections Office on Wednesday night.

On Tuesday, a total of 33,111 people cast their ballot at polling locations throughout the county. That number was surpassed by the 36,892 voters on Wednesday that turned out to vote at Bexar County’s 48 polling sites.

That’s compared to 35,306 ballots cast on the second day of early voting in 2018 and 38,603 ballots cast on the second day of early voting in 2016.

Ten voting locations brought in more than 1,000 voters each on Wednesday, according to the elections department.

Mail-in ballots, which are expected to increase significantly this election year due to the pandemic, are not included in Tuesday’s figure and are still being counted.

A record number of Bexar County residents — 1,181,000 — are registered to vote for this presidential election.

To accommodate for better social distancing and a higher voter turnout, the county has set up four large polling sites at the AT&T Center, Palo Alto College, St. Paul Community Center and Alzafar Shrine Auditorium.

The AT&T Center exceeded its Tuesday record, with 2,134 ballots cast on Wednesday. Official report 1,560 people voted at the site on Tuesday.
