Is my employer required to grant me time off to vote?

Yes, Georgia law requires employers to grant their workers up to 2 hours to vote on the day of an election. However, the employer is authorized to specify the hours which an employee may use. This provision does not apply to employees whose hours of work begin at least 2 hours after the polls open or end at least 2 hours before the polls close. There is no obligation for an employer to pay the employee for the time taken to vote.
