Voter turnout in San Antonio area doubles compared to midterm elections in 2022
The first five days of early voting in the 2026 Primary Election in the San Antonio area is double what it was for the 2022 midterm elections, according to Bexar County Elections Administrator Michele Carew.
She reported nearly 71,000 ballots have been cast during this current early voting period. That's about 34,000 more than the first five days of early voting in 2022.
“Voters are showing up, and they are not slowing down,” said Carew. “We’re consistently seeing nearly double the daily turnout compared to the previous midterm election. Our goal is for every voter to feel confident that their vote is safe and secure.”
Meanwhile, she also warned postmark changes by the United States Postal Service should be noted by those voting by mail.
