Voters waited in line to cast their ballots at Lion's Field in San Antonio during the 2018 midterms.
Bexar Elections Administrator Jacque Callanen told KSAT that turnout for this year's high-profile presidential election could meet or even exceed that of 2016, when 25% of the county's registered voters cast ballots. Around 18% made it to the polls for the 2018 midterms.
