DYK? Early Voting Information
|
|
DID YOU KNOW......?
Early Voting for the November 3, 2020 Election has been extended! Early voting will now begin on October 13th and end on October 30th. The poll sites have not officially been set as of early September but as of now, the entire Leon Valley Conference Center will be the primary poll site for this election. The reason for this is to allow all who choose to vote in Leon Valley ample space to "socially distance" and also have plenty of parking.
When it comes to way you can cast your ballot, you have options.
1. In-Person at the Conference Center and other locations to be announced.
Here are a few things you need to know:
- Voters cannot be screened or denied entrance to a polling place for refusing a screening.
- Masks are strongly recommended but not required for use in the polling place by a voter; even with the City's ordinance, voters will still be able to enter the polling place without a mask.
- Social distancing will be enforced; each person will be provided gloves and a pencil to vote with.
2. By Mail - This option is for those who are going to be away from the county on Election Day and during early voting; are Sick or disabled; are 65 years of age or older on Election Day; or are confined in jail, but eligible to vote.
- A ballot postmarked by Election Day must be received by the early voting clerk no later than 5:00 pm on Wednesday, November 4, 2020. If there is no postmark, the early voting clerk must receive these ballots by 7:00 pm on Election Day.
- Exception: Military ballots - must be received by November 9, 2020 - no postmark necessary; and
3. Curbside - This is a great option for those who want to go to the polls but cannot stand for very long. We will post a number for you to call to get that set up as soon as a designated number has been set up.
Some Changes we will all see with this election are:
- Daily Mast Reports will no longer be obtained through the city secretary's office but instead, may be obtained through the Bexar County Elections Department.
- Lastly, no Election Day results will be given until the very last vote has been counted; at which time all results will be posted.
Please watch your weekly ENews and the City's Election page for updates on the City of Leon Valley's Election 2020. Please contact the City Secretary if you need any assistance or have questions at 210-684-1391 extension 216.
