Cibolo: Check your polling place

Most Cibolo voters cast Guadalupe County ballots. But a southern slice of the city — the area south of West Schaefer Road, where a bend of Cibolo Creek forms the county boundary — votes in Bexar County. That line decides which polling place a neighbor can use.

Both Bexar and Guadalupe counties run countywide vote centers. A registered voter may cast a ballot at any participating location in their own county — but only their own county.

The county line, not the city name, sets where a vote can be cast. A Cibolo voter who heads to a familiar building in the wrong county — or a resident of the Bexar sliver who assumes they vote on the Guadalupe side — ends up in the wrong line. Schertz and Cibolo sit on the seam where those lines run together, so where you can vote depends on your registered address.

What changed since 2024

Measured against the November 5, 2024 general election — the most recent comparable contest — here is what moved for the November 3, 2026 election.

Guadalupe County made one confirmed polling-site change: site No. 7 moved from the Brick and Blossom Event Center to Staples United Methodist Church. Both buildings sit outside Cibolo proper.

County commissioners also left one northern location undetermined — a site near Texas State Technical College / Alamo Colleges by the New Braunfels Airport — while officials worked through space and scheduling issues. That location, too, is outside Cibolo proper.

For Cibolo itself, the March 3, 2026 site sheet covered the party primaries, not the general election. It will not tell you where to vote in November. The final Election Day list went up August 21, 2026 — check it against 2024 before assuming your site is unchanged.

On the Bexar side, the county planned about 301 Election Day vote centers — one fewer than the 302 it ran in November 2024 — plus roughly 57 early-voting sites. Bexar cautions that locations can still be adjusted closer to the election.

What has stayed put

The Schertz Elections Office Annex at 1101 Elbel Road is again a voting location after a $4.14 million renovation. The annex, which houses Guadalupe County's County Clerk, District Clerk and Elections offices, reopened October 13, 2025.

On the Bexar side, two sites appear on both the November 2024 and November 2026 lists: the Converse Community Event Center at 407 South Seguin Road, and the East Central ISD location at 6634 New Sulphur Springs Road in San Antonio.

Which county writes your ballot

The county where you're registered fixes your ballot. The offices, school-board seats and local measures differ between Guadalupe and Bexar. Most Cibolo residents get Guadalupe ballots; the small southern sliver south of West Schaefer Road gets Bexar ballots.

To check which county holds your registration, look up your registered address. Bexar County's Registration & Polling Location Search is at maps.bexar.org/VoterRegSearch. The Texas Secretary of State's My Voter Portal at votetexas.gov covers voters in both counties.

Because a ballot must be cast at a vote center in your own county, that lookup — not memory — keeps a Bexar-side Cibolo voter out of a Guadalupe line, and a Guadalupe-side neighbor out of a Bexar line.

Dates, ID and how to confirm

Early voting runs Monday, October 19 through Friday, October 30, 2026. Election Day is Tuesday, November 3, 2026, with polls open 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. in both counties.

Bring one of seven accepted forms of photo ID:

• a Texas driver license
• Texas Election Identification Certificate
• Texas personal ID card
• Texas handgun license
• U.S. military ID with photo
• U.S. citizenship certificate with photo
• U.S. passport

An ID may be expired up to four years for voters ages 18 to 69; voters 70 and older may use an otherwise valid expired ID without a time limit.

Confirm your exact site before you leave. Bexar voters can use maps.bexar.org/VoterRegSearch and the Election Day map at maps.bexar.org/ElectionDayInfo, or call 210-335-VOTE (8683). Guadalupe voters can use the county elections page at guadalupetx.gov, which posts its Election Day Schedule and Locations list, or call (830) 303-6363. Voters in either county can start with the Secretary of State's My Voter Portal.

Bexar County itself warns that sites and hours can change and should be re-checked right before heading out.

Showing up at a familiar building in the wrong county — or at Guadalupe County's moved site No. 7 — turns Election Day into a wasted trip. A ballot cast outside your own county's vote centers does not count. One confirmation before you leave is the difference between casting that vote and a trip that fails.
