APRIL 16, 2021 — UTSA has been designated an early voting and Election Day site for the upcoming joint election.

Registered voters at the Downtown Campus can cast their ballot early at the nearby Bexar County Elections Department, located at 1103 S. Frio St. Additional polling sites throughout San Antonio along with hours of operation are listed on the county elections site (see mapped locations).
Important reminders about voting:
In the joint election in 2019, roughly 11.5% of registered Bexar County voters cast a ballot. Just over 13% of voters cast a ballot in the 2017 municipal race, up from 2015, when only 12% of voters participated.
While there has been an increase in voter turnout since the first SA2020 community vision was drafted in 2010, the community’s goal for voter turnout for the city continues to be to increase voter turnout by 2% each election.
To help achieve this goal UTSA’s Center for Civic Engagement strongly encourages students, staff, faculty and community to make their voices heard by casting their vote on campus during the early voting period.
UTSA officials also encourage area residents and employees at Valero, NuStar and other local businesses to use the university’s convenient early voting location.
