I can't believe it's not either a national holiday or an accepted thing for all employers to give the day off. I know legally they have to give you an hour to vote, but the entire day sends a message that this is an important thing for you to do.

- mjcl 8y agoIt's a state-by-state thing. CA requires employers give two hours off: https://www.sos.ca.gov/administration/news-releases-and-advisories/2016-news-releases-and-advisories/california-law-allows-time-vote-election-day1/ https://www.sos.ca.gov/administration/news-releases-and-advi...
- howard941 8y agoA nearby post repeats the claim as if it were true nationwide, claiming that those who weren't given time off had to be supplied an absentee ballot. On its face it doesn't make sense unless we're talking about state employees, and we're not talking about state employees. EDIT copyedit
