From Tuesday, Feb. 17, to Friday, Feb. 27, voters have the option of more than 40 polling places to cast their ballots during early voting. See the list and map of polling places, plus early voting hours, below.
For those who do not make it to the polls during the early voting period, the primary election day is March 3.
Voters in Bexar County can cast a ballot at any polling place during early voting and on Election Day.
The last day to apply for a ballot via mail is Feb. 20. For more information about voting by mail, click here.
Mail-in ballots must be received by 7 p.m. on March 3 if the envelope is not postmarked, or 5 p.m. on March 4 if the carrier envelope is postmarked by 5 p.m. at the location of the election on Election Day.
The county shared the following in a news release to help voters get their mail-in ballots on time after a change to postmarks late last year:
“USPS postmarks may now show the date your mail reaches a regional sorting facility, not the date you dropped it off at your local post office or mailbox. This means the postmark date could be later than the day you mailed it. This may affect any mail that must be “postmarked by” a specific date."
The deadline for voters to correct any errors on their ballots so they are counted correctly, or to submit a provisional ballot, is March 9.

How do I know if I’m eligible to vote?
To check if you are eligible to vote, click here. The last day to register to vote in the March 3 primary was Feb. 2.
In the primary election, local voters will decide on the races for Texas governor, Bexar County judge, Bexar County district attorney, Texas Attorney General and commissioners for Precincts 2 and 4.
What do I need to bring to the polling place?
Acceptable forms of ID include a Texas driver license, a Texas Election Identification Certificate issued by DPS, a Texas personal identification card issued by DPS, a Texas handgun license issued by DPS, a U.S. military ID card with a photo, a U.S. citizenship certificate containing with a photo, or a U.S. passport.
Your ID may be expired no more than four years unless you’re 70-years-old, and then the acceptable form of ID can be expired for any length of time.
If a voter has one of the acceptable forms of IDs but forgets to bring it to the polling place, the voter can vote provisionally. That voter will then have six days to present a photo ID to the county voter registrar or fill out a natural disaster affidavit, or the vote will not count.
If you do not have one of the acceptable forms of ID and cannot reasonably obtain one, you can fill out a Reasonable Impediment Declaration at your place of voting and must show one of the following supporting forms of ID:
- copy or original of a government document that shows the voter’s name and an address, including the voter registration certificate;
- copy of or original current utility bill;
- copy of or original bank statement;
- copy of or original government check;
- copy of or original paycheck; or
- copy of or original of (a) a certified domestic (from a U.S. state or territory) birth certificate or (b) a document confirming birth admissible in a court of law which establishes the voter’s identity (which may include a foreign birth document).
Voters with a disability may apply with the county voter registrar for a permanent exemption to the photo ID requirement.
