Those heading to the polls in Bexar County could face long lines, but at least three area locations have barely any wait time at all, according to local elections officials.

The polling locations with the shortest waits at 11 a.m. Tuesday were Lions Field Adult and Senior Center, 289 Broadway; Brandeis High School, 13011 Kyle Seale Parkway; and Helotes City Hall, 12951 Bandera Road, Elections Administrator Jacquelyn Callanen told reporters at a Tuesday press conference.

“They’ve all called in saying, ‘Send us voters, send us voters,'” Callanen said. “And that’s a great sign.”

More than half of all eligible Bexar County voters had already cast their ballots as of 11 a.m.

“We would love to be able to break that 65% we had during the last presidential election,” Callanen added. “I think we’re going to do it. That’s our goal.”

Polls close at 7 p.m. Tuesday. However, those in line before the cutoff time still will be able to cast their ballots.

Bexar County residents should expect to see the first early voting results by 7:10 p.m., according to Callanen.

Residents can find more information on polling locations and check if they’re registered to vote by visiting the Bexar County Elections Department’s website.
