You are not limited to one location. Any open Bexar County voting site will have your ballot.

Voting in Your Language

Bexar County is required to provide Spanish-language ballots and materials at every polling location. You also have the right to bring someone to help you at the polls. Read more below ↓

Voting in your own language

Under Section 203 of the Voting Rights Act, Bexar County must provide voting materials and assistance in Spanish. Here’s what that means in practice when you show up to vote.

Spanish ballots

Every polling location has ballots printed in both English and Spanish. You don’t need to request it in advance — just ask for the Spanish version when you check in.

Bilingual poll workers

Bexar County stations Spanish-speaking election workers at voting locations. If no one is available on site, the county provides a phone interpretation line.

Bring your own interpreter

You have the legal right to bring anyone you choose to help you at the polls (except your employer or a union officer). They can translate, read the ballot, or assist in any way.

Bexar County’s obligation under Section 203 covers Spanish. If you speak another language and need assistance, you may still bring your own interpreter under Section 208 of the Voting Rights Act. We are also working on a full Spanish-language version of this site.

Before you go to vote

Three things every voter should know — what ID to bring, how to get accommodations if you need them, and what help is available in your language.

What ID to bring

Texas voters need to show one of 7 accepted forms of photo ID at the polls:

  • Texas Driver License
  • Texas Election ID Certificate
  • Texas Handgun License
  • U.S. Military ID with photo
  • U.S. Citizenship Certificate with photo
  • U.S. Passport (book or card)
  • Texas Personal ID Card

No photo ID? You can still vote with a supporting document (like a utility bill) and a Reasonable Impediment Declaration.

  • Curbside voting at every polling location
  • Large-print ballots and magnification
  • Bring a person of your choice to assist you
  • Move to the front of the line if standing is difficult

  • Bilingual poll workers at every location
  • Bring an interpreter of your choice (with limited exceptions)
  • Request Spanish-language assistance at the check-in table

Most-asked questions

Quick answers to the five questions we hear most. See all 40+ on the Frequently Asked Questions page.

Am I registered to vote?

Check your status in about 30 seconds using the Texas “Am I Registered?” portal. You’ll also see your assigned polling place and precinct.

If you can’t find yourself — don’t wait. Re-register before the next deadline to make sure you’re on the rolls.

What’s the deadline to register for the next election?

Texas requires voter registration 30 days before Election Day. For the May 26, 2026 Primary Runoff, the deadline is Monday, April 27, 2026. Your application must be postmarked or received by that date.

See all 2026 deadlines in one place.

Where do I vote?

During early voting: at any Bexar County early voting location. Pick whichever is most convenient — your precinct doesn’t matter.

On Election Day: most elections in Bexar County use the Countywide Polling Program, so you can vote at any open Election Day location — not just your assigned precinct. Always confirm at bexar.org/election-sites.

What ID do I need to bring?

One of seven forms of photo ID: Texas driver license, Texas Election ID Certificate, Texas handgun license, U.S. military ID with photo, U.S. Citizenship Certificate with photo, U.S. passport, or Texas Personal ID Card.

No photo ID? You can still vote. Bring a supporting document (like a utility bill, bank statement, or voter registration certificate) and sign a Reasonable Impediment Declaration at the polls.

Can I vote by mail?

Texas only allows mail voting in specific cases. You qualify if you are:

(1) 65 or older; (2) disabled; (3) out of the county during the entire early voting period and on Election Day; (4) confined in jail but otherwise eligible; or (5) expecting to give birth within three weeks before or after Election Day.

Details and the application process are on the Vote by Mail page.
