Petition Allow employees paid time off work to vote

More details

Elections are held on weekdays and although polling stations are open until late in the evening, some people will be forced to take time out of work to vote due to other commitments. This petition is for the government to put a legislation in place to make it mandatory for employers to allow employees paid time off work to vote that will not affect holiday allowance.
