Election Day Excitement in San Antonio
San Antonio is gearing up for a big day! With just a day left for early voting, residents are buzzing with anticipation for the upcoming election on Tuesday, November 5. If you haven’t made it out to the polls yet, don’t worry! You still have one last chance to cast your vote. Early voting wraps up soon, and the energy in the city is palpable.
Where Can You Vote?
Many polling locations will be set up at schools throughout the San Antonio area, making it super convenient for many of you to swing by and vote. While some school districts will take a break for election day, it’s important to note that many others will still have classes in session on Tuesday. For instance, the San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD) will have several of its schools open as polling places while students are in class. That means a bit of a hustle and bustle around the schools as voters and students share the space.
On the flip side, several schools in the Northside Independent School District (NISD) will also serve as polling sites, but those schools will be closed for the day. If you’re not sure about your district, that’s perfectly okay! There has been a helpful compilation of which schools will be open and which will be closed based on the districts’ 2024-2025 academic calendar.
