Did you know that National Voter Registration Day is on Tuesday, Sept. 17? According to the most recent US census data, as many as one in four Americans may still not be registered to vote. As of 2022, there are 1.23 million residents in Bexar County that are currently registered.

Let’s help add to that.

Double-check your registration status

You only need to update your voter registration status when you move (otherwise your ballot gets sent to the wrong place), but it’s best to double-check to make sure everything’s correct ahead of time.

Find your registration status on the Bexar County Elections website and see what items will be on your next ballot. It only takes a few seconds to fill out.
