1. You can vote anywhere in Bexar County on Election Day, not just at a single voting location you’ve used in the past or understand you are assigned to. You can vote ANYWHERE. And voting locations are open from 7 am to 7 pm. That means if you’re in line when the polls close, you can still vote. But get there earlier, obviously. And 7:01 p.m. by their clock is officially too late. You were warned.
