Early voting for the 2026 midterm election starts on Monday, Oct. 19, across Texas, giving voters a few weeks to cast their early ballots ahead of Election Day on Nov. 3.<\/p>\n

For new or returning voters across Bexar County, we\u2019ve put together a video guide to help you know exactly what to expect when you arrive at your nearest polling location.<\/p>\n

This step-by-step guide takes you from checking your voter registration<\/a>, to the moment you enter the building, confirm your registration, make your selections, print your ballot and the last step of inserting your ballot into the tabulator machine.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve also compiled a comprehensive 2026 Voter Guide<\/a> that introduces you to the candidates on the ballot this November.<\/p>\n

Here are the top races to watch this November 2026 election<\/a><\/p>\n

That includes the Texas governor\u2019s race<\/a>, a fiercely contested U.S. Senate race<\/a>, Bexar County races<\/a>, a host of education races and school finance issues<\/a>, plus positions on the county appraisal district<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And we have a handy guide to help you find your sample ballot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Special thanks to the League of Women Voters for the use of the vote machine and guidance. <\/p>\n
