Early voting for the 2026 midterm election starts on Monday, Oct. 19, across Texas, giving voters a few weeks to cast their early ballots ahead of Election Day on Nov. 3.
For new or returning voters across Bexar County, we’ve put together a video guide to help you know exactly what to expect when you arrive at your nearest polling location.
This step-by-step guide takes you from checking your voter registration, to the moment you enter the building, confirm your registration, make your selections, print your ballot and the last step of inserting your ballot into the tabulator machine.
We’ve also compiled a comprehensive 2026 Voter Guide that introduces you to the candidates on the ballot this November.
