Because Election Day isn't a U.S. holiday, most American adults are at work on the Tuesday following the first Monday of November, the day designated for federal, state and local general elections. But 28 states and several thousand companies guarantee workers time off to vote.
Without a federal law guaranteeing voting leave, some workers may take a financial hit if they need to leave work to cast their ballots, depending on the state in which they live and work.
Making Election Day a federal holiday has been proposed multiple times, with the most recent measure introduced earlier this year by Rep. Anna Eshoo, a Democrat from California, via the Election Day Holiday Act, which is now stalled in Congress. She cited a study that found 26% of Americans report that obligations including work kept them from the polls.
