Make a plan to VOTE today! If you are waiting in line at 8pm on Election Day, you will still be able to vote.

• You have the right to time off work to vote in all state and federal elections, and in all regularly scheduled local elections. MN Statues 204C.04 and 204C.08 subd. 1d state that your employer must pay you for the time you need to vote, if it falls within your scheduled work time. Your employer cannot require you to use personal leave or vacation time.

• Take only as much time as you need to vote and go to work.

• Your employer cannot directly or indirectly refuse, limit, or interfere with this right, including what time you choose to vote.

• Your employer can ask that you tell them when you will be gone, and ask that employees coordinate their absences to minimize workplace disruptions.
