ELECTIONS AND ELECTION OFFICIALS IN BEXAR COUNTY

The Bexar County Elections Department is responsible for voter registration activities and election operations throughout Bexar County. This includes 712 voting precincts, 53 political subdivisions, 20 Independent School Districts, 29 Cities, 3 Military Installations (including Lackland AFB, Fort Sam Houston, and Randolph Air Force Base), and over 1,181,842 registered voters.

​

In addition to registering voters and running elections throughout the county, the Elections Department recruits, trains, and certifies Election Judges and Clerks and Volunteer Deputy Registrars.  They also receive and closely monitor mail-in ballots and provide an online tracker so that voters can track their mail-in ballots.

​

Our experience with the Elections Department is that they are highly competent and responsive to any needs or concerns voters may have.
