Help your team vote without stress or schedule conflicts
When you support employees’ time to vote, you stay compliant with state laws and strengthen your workplace morale.
The Time To Vote initiative began in 2018 with three founding companies: Patagonia, PayPal, and Levi Strauss. This nonpartisan group formed coalition focused on making work schedules compatible with voting.
Many employers meet that goal by offering:
Paid time off to vote
Meeting-free Election Days
Clear information about early voting and mail-in options
By the 2024 election cycle:
More than 2,000 companies had joined Time To Vote (Inc.)
Members ranged from large consumer brands like Aflac, Dell, Google, and Coca Cola to smaller firms and startups

Voting leave usually depends on where an employee works, not where your company is based.
