As we approach the Nov. 5 election, please be aware of your voting time off allowance, which is defined in the Voting Leave policy.

Paid voting leave is available to all state employees, including university staff, faculty and appointed personnel, to vote in a general or special election if the polls:

  • Open less than three hours before your regular work shift, or
  • Close less than three hours after the end of your regular work shift.

If you intend to be absent for a portion of your regularly scheduled hours for the purpose of voting, please request and discuss with your supervisor prior to Election Day.

Learn more about voting leave.
