In Texas, there are two (2) ways to vote early:
✔ In Person
✔ By Mail (Absentee Ballot)
Early voting generally begins 17 days before an election and ends four (4) days before Election Day. If the 17th day falls on a weekend, early voting begins the following Monday.
Early Voting Period:
Tuesday, February 17 – Friday, February 27, 2026
Mark your calendar and plan ahead.
All registered voters in Texas may vote early at a convenient vote center.
✔ No reason required
✔ Flexible voting locations
✔ Shorter wait times
Polling locations may vary by election and will be posted as they become available on the
Bexar County Elections Department homepage
Voting early in person is simple and secure.
If you are physically unable to enter the polling location without assistance or risk to your health, curbside voting is available at all vote centers in Bexar County.
