paid time off not just time off

• Barrin92 6y ago
  I'm not aware of any other country in which voting is not a paid holiday (or on sundays which many countries have outlawed regular work on), in particular for what is the most important election in the nation. Has a perverse logic to it though, probably depresses turnout from ordinary working people the most.

    The UK holds elections on work days and does not mandate time off. However, there are a lot polling stations, your assigned one will not be far away from your registered address, and you just need to arrive there by 10pm. And it's easy to get a postal vote.

  Not having paid time off just suppresses the vote of those that earns less

  Thats how it supposed to be. In India, its completely illegal to run any company/warehouse/anything on that day. Its completely paid leave for all organizations.

  Heaven forbid a company give paid time off so its workers can exercise a civic duty.
