Time Off To Vote Laws! Somes State Require Employers To Give You Time Off To Vote *Link*
Edited on Sun Nov-02-08 06:18 PM by Median Democrat
Sadly, Florida, Indiana and Pennsylvania do not have time off to vote laws, but many other states do. So, check this out before giving up your right to vote in order to get to work on schedule. Better yet, if you can take the day off, please do so, and be part of history if you have not voted, yet.
