Going to vote? These states require employers to give you time off to cast your ballot

There are over a dozen states across the U.S. that don't declare Election Day a public holiday, and do not require employers to provide paid time off for voting.

Election Day is approaching, and some states have declared the date to be a public holiday, while others have mandated that employers must provide paid time off for voting.

For instance, in New York state, employees are eligible for up to two hours of paid time off in the event that they are not given "sufficient time to vote," according to the New York State Board of Elections. This is described as four consecutive hours to vote either from when the polls open to the beginning of their shift, or four consecutive hours between the end of their shift and when the polls close.
