State law requires that all voters bring an approved photo ID to vote. Voters who lack an approved photo ID can still cast a ballot if they bring an alternate form of identification, such as a utility bill, and sign an affidavit at the polling place. A list of approved and alternate IDs allowed at the polls is available on the Texas Secretary of State’s website, votetexas.gov.

The ballot for all residents comprises 10 proposed constitutional amendments approved by the Texas Legislature this year now requiring voter approval for ratification. Residents within the bounds of the Bulverde Area Rural Library District, Emergency Services District No. 3 or Green Valley Special Utility District will also vote for those districts’ respective board members. The city of Schertz is also holding elections for mayor and city council.

By the close of the voter-registration period October 7, more than 103,600 Comal County residents had registered to vote, with additional registrations trickling in via mail in subsequent days.
