Time Off To Vote for District Of Columbia

DC law allows you to request up to two hours of paid leave from your scheduled working shift to vote:

  • in an election held in the DC if you are eligible to vote in DC
  • or in an election held in the jurisdiction in which you are eligible to vote

Your employer may require you to request this time off reasonably in advance and specify the time that you take it, including potentially during early voting.
