Early voting for San Antonio’s mayoral runoff and four City Council runoffs started Tuesday and runs through June 3.
Voters can choose from any of these early voting locations and don’t need to have had cast a ballot in the first round to participate.
Polling hours vary by day during the eight-day early voting window. Weekend voting options were added after voting rights activists raised concerns.
Election day voting will take place on Saturday, June 7, with a much longer list of polls open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
All San Antonio voters will have at least one contest on their runoff ballot: The mayor’s race between former Air Force Under Secretary Gina Ortiz Jones and former Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos.
City Council District 1, District 6, District 8 and District 9 also have runoffs between the top two vote-takers in the May 3 election.
These five races went to runoffs because no single candidate took at least 50% of the vote on election day. All of the other council districts on the ballot elected winners outright on May 3.
Turnout for the May 3 election was roughly 8.2% of San Antonio registered voters, and many races were decided with just a handful of votes.
For example, in the District 6 race, Kelly Ann Gonzalez finished fewer than 30 votes ahead of and Ric Galvan. The two are now facing off in a runoff. In District 8, the third place candidate missed the runoff by just 75 votes.
