§ 3-110. Time allowed employees to vote. 1. If a registered voter does

not have sufficient time outside of his or her scheduled working hours,

within which to vote on any day at which he or she may vote, at any

election, he or she may, without loss of pay for up to two hours, take

off so much working time as will, when added to his or her voting time

outside his or her working hours, enable him or her to vote.

2. If an employee has four consecutive hours either between the

opening of the polls and the beginning of his or her working shift, or

between the end of his or her working shift and the closing of the

polls, he or she shall be deemed to have sufficient time outside his or

her working hours within which to vote. If he or she has less than four

consecutive hours he or she may take off so much working time as will,

when added to his or her voting time outside his or her working hours

enable him or her to vote, but not more than two hours of which shall be

without loss of pay, provided that he or she shall be allowed time off

for voting only at the beginning or end of his or her working shift, as

the employer may designate, unless otherwise mutually agreed.

3. If the employee requires working time off to vote the employee

shall notify his or her employer not more than ten nor less than two

working days before the day of the election that he or she requires time

off to vote in accordance with the provisions of this section.

4. Not less than ten working days before every election, every

employer shall post conspicuously in the place of work where it can be

seen as employees come or go to their place of work, a notice setting

forth the provisions of this section. Such notice shall be kept posted

until the close of the polls on election day.
