Mandatory Posters – Time Off to Vote Notice



Tuesday, June 2, 2026, is the Statewide Primary Election. State law
(California Elections Code section 14001) requires employers to post a
notice to their employees advising them of their option to take paid leave
to vote.


Notice Requirements

The Time Off to Vote notice, which is available in English
<https://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/pdfs/tov-english.pdf> and Spanish
<https://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/pdfs/tov-sp.pdf>, must be clearly posted
where employee notices are displayed. If your department has multiple
locations for employee notices, please ensure the notice is prominently
displayed in each of those locations. You have the option of printing and
posting them indefinitely or within 10 days of each election. For hybrid
and remote employees, please ensure that they are informed on where to find
the mandatory workplace posters on the CHR webpage
<https://hr.ucr.edu/policy/mandatory-work-posters>.


Eligibility

Per the California Secretary of State website, employees are eligible for
paid time off for the purpose of voting only if they do not have sufficient
time outside of working hours to vote. The intent of the law is to provide
an opportunity for workers to vote, who would not be able to do so because
of their jobs.

   - Polls are open from 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
   - A maximum of two hours is paid.
   - Advance notice if additional time off for voting is needed is highly
   recommended.
   - Departments may require time off to be taken only at the beginning or
   end of the employee’s shift.



If you have questions about the mandatory workplace posting or notice,
