The UTSA Student Government Association (SGA) has consistently advocated for a UTSA early-voting site because of student requests. SGA leaders say that an on-campus site encourages students to vote and get involved in the political process. Last November, more than 8,400 Bexar County voters utilized UTSA's early-voting site, which ranked 18th of 41 poll locations.
When it is not possible for an employee to vote before or after working hours, UTSA supervisors may grant employees a reasonable period of time off for voting during business hours. Employees must be registered voters to qualify for the time off.
