Local elections, big impact
Most people only think about presidential years. But the elections closest to home — the ones deciding your tax bill, your kid’s school, and your water supply — are usually decided by a tiny slice of voters. That gives each ballot outsized weight.
Local May elections in Bexar County often see turnout below 10%. That means your vote can carry 10× the weight it would in November.
School boards, city councils, and special districts set property-tax rates, approve bonds, and decide what gets built on your street.
Suburban mayor and school-trustee races in Bexar County are regularly decided by a few dozen votes. Showing up genuinely matters.
