A total of 253,071 Bexar County ballots were cast in this year's primary election — that accounts for about 22.35% of all registered voters in the county.
Here's the breakdown:
- 113,650: Election Day
- 17,262: Absentee
- 122,159: Early Vote

Bexar County Elections Administrator Jacque Callanen is scheduled to hold a press conference at 11 a.m. Wednesday to discuss the primary election results.
