The Current loves the rush of voting on election day, but you can avoid long lines before or after work and during lunch on November 4 by taking advantage of early voting, October 20-31, at 40 locations across the city. Polls are open
8 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday-Saturday, and noon-6 p.m. Sunday. Don’t forget your voter-registration card, and consult bexar.org/elections/ if you have any questions (i.e. Am I registered? What if I’ve lost my card? I moved two weeks ago; now what?). This info is subject to change, so doublecheck it before you drive at the web address above, or by calling the office of the Bexar County Elections Administrator, Jacquelyn F. Callanen, at (210) 335-VOTE (8683).
