SAN ANTONIO – The Bexar County elections department will hold a news conference on Wednesday afternoon to provide an update on the increase in polling locations.
The news conference will be held at 2 p.m. at the Bexar County Elections Office. The event will be livestreamed in this article above; if there is not a livestream available, check back at a later time.
On Tuesday, the Bexar County Commissioners Court approved 302 voting locations after a judge ordered the county to add more sites ahead of the Nov. 8 election.
Although it is fewer than the 388 polling sites that activists pushed for in a lawsuit against the county, commissioners were told both parties agreed on the 302 sites.
The commissioners’ decision came after some precincts were found not to have any registered voters.
The new election sites will be available in time for Election Day. As of Wednesday, the additional polling sites were not listed on the election department’s website.
