yeah, check with your boss or your HR dept to be sure, by law they have to give you up to 2 hours off, but practically, bringing down the hammer of the law on your boss isn’t always a great idea. Basically, most states have polls that are open for at least some period of time outside the normal workday, so it also depends on your schedule and the degree to which it conflicts with your state’s polling hours. In Minnesota, our polls open at 7 am and close at 8pm, I work 9 to 5, so no problems for me. But maybe your polls aren’t open as many hours and you work long hours Tuesday, you may have to take some time off. But one thing’s for sure, if you get to the polling place before closing time, if you’re in line before the polls close, they have to let you vote.
