Overnight storms caused power outages at three San Antonio polling locations early Tuesday, yet all three were able to meet their scheduled 7 a.m. opening time, local elections officials said.

The affected polling sites included Northside ISD’s Pat M. Neff Middle School, Northeast ISD’s Ed White Middle School and the Judson ISD Educational Resource Center.

“We adjusted, got set up, and like we’ve always told you, all of our equipment has battery power,” Bexar County Elections Administrator Jacquelyn Callanen told reporters during an Election Day press conference. “So, they were to go along for a little bit of time until they got reset up.”

Poling at Neff Middle School moved to another section of the building that had power, according to Callanen.

The affected locations will operate until their normally scheduled 7 p.m. closure time. Those in line before that time still will be allowed to cast their ballots, Callanen added.

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.
