SAN ANTONIO (KTSA News) — Now that the 2024 election is behind us, the next order of business in Bexar County is to find a new Elections Administrator.

Bexar County Tax Assessor-Collector Albert Uresti,

Bexar County Republican Party Chair Kris Coons

Bexar County Democratic Party Chair Monica Alcantara.
