Voting Privileges

The University encourages all staff members to fulfill their civic responsibilities and to vote in all official public elections. If an employee will not have enough time to vote during non-working hours, the University will permit an employee to take up to four hours of unpaid leave to vote between the opening and closing of the polls. If an employee needs time off to vote, talk to a supervisor to schedule leave so as to minimize the disruption of the University’s operations. For more details about this policy, refer to Office of the Business Manager and Assistant Treasurer Memorandum No. 90, “Time Off for Voting,” dated October 30, 1964, or the Business Procedures Manual.
