Employers must grant employees up to three hours paid leave to vote, unless polls are open three consecutive hours before or after regular working shift. If the employe lives equal to or less than 2 miles away from their polling place, they are granted 1 hour of civil leave. Greater than 2 and eqaul to or less than 10 miles grants the employee 2 hours. Greater than 10 miles grants the employee 3 hours. The time off should be paid.
