ELECTION ALERT
Voting Rights Notices, Possible Paid Time Off

Election Code 14000 requires an employer to provide an employee either beginning or end of shift time off to vote in a statewide election if that person cannot otherwise do so outside work hours.  The company must pay for up to two hours of that voting time.

An employee who knows of the need for time off to vote three days before the election must inform the employer at least two days before that date.

Election Code 14001 requires that employees post a notice of those rights at least 10 days before an election.  October 26 is the last day to post such a notice prior to the November 5, 2024 election.

The Secretary of State’s website contains a page with these rules, providing the notice in several languages.

Take-Aways:

Employers should get their voting rights notices up by October 26.

For further assistance, please contact one of our attorneys, Tim Bowles, Cindy Bamforth or Helena Kobrin.
