Early voting for San Antonio’s upcoming Nov. 7 election opened on October 23 and will run through November 3. Voting can be done on the UTSA campus in the H-E-B Student Union Bexar Room (1.102).
The Nov. 7 ballot will have 14 proposed amendments to the State Constitution. Some of the topics that will be covered by these amendments are property taxes, money for state parks and child care facilities. San Antonio Report said, “Members of both parties agree none of the 14 proposed constitutional amendments on the November ballot are particularly controversial.”
With the last day for voter registration being Oct. 10, residents of San Antonio and students at UTSA who are not registered by now are unable to vote in this election. If you are unsure of your status, you can check it at vote.org.
