Georgia employers are required under OCGA § 21-2-404 to allow employees two hours off in order to vote if arranged in advance. Georgia law requires employers to grant their workers up to two hours to vote on Election Day. However, the employer is authorized to specify the hours which an employee may use. This provision for time off to vote does not apply to employees whose hours of work begin at least two hours after the polls open or end at least two hours before the polls close. There is no obligation for an employer to pay the employee for the time taken off to vote. The hours are at your employer’s discretion so please make sure you speak to your employer in advance.
