Employees may take reasonable time off to vote without penalty or deduction from salary or wages. Time off may be taken to vote in regularly scheduled state primaries or general elections, an election to fill the vacancy in the office of U.S. senator or U.S. representative, an election to fill the vacancy in the office of state senator or state representative, or a presidential primary. Requests for time off to vote should be made to supervisors in advance. Employees located in states other than Minnesota should consult their state addenda for state specific information concerning this policy.
