Today marks Election Day across the United States, a tradition rooted in the 19th century. In 1845, Congress established the federal law designating that elections would occur on the first Tuesday following the first Monday in November. This year, voters in San Antonio, Texas, are heading to the polls to participate in a pivotal electoral process.
Polling places in Bexar County will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Voters have access to over 300 voting locations, which include schools, libraries, churches, city halls and community centers. UTSA also serves as a convenient voting site for students, faculty and staff. Anyone in line by 7 p.m. will still be allowed to cast their vote, ensuring that all eligible voters have the opportunity to participate.
Election results are expected to be announced later tonight after the polling sites close. ABC News will provide comprehensive coverage of the presidential election results; it can be viewed on traditional television broadcasts as well as streaming platforms like Disney+ and Hulu.
San Antonio officials and local organizations have been working to promote voter participation while aiming for a smooth electoral process.
