Reply to comment by Kodiak01 in Connecticut to decide on early voting in November referendum by jr_reddit

Tell your employer you will be late or are leaving early. Employers can’t punish employees for missing time due to voting.

It is my normal schedule, and I work out of State. I am the first one in and the last one out on Tuesdays. This is why I cast absentee ballots.

The town clerk's office is open until 7PM on Thursdays. Instead of requesting a ballot by mail, I now show up in person and fill out my ballot on the spot after work that day.

It’s one day a year. It won’t affect your normal schedule at all.

Why are you so against people having alternative options when casting their vote?

One has to wonder if you're even old enough to have ever voted for something other than 7th grade class president...

I’m not against early voting, there’s nothing wrong with it. My point is employers, like yours, can’t punish employees for missing work time due to voting. I’m old enough to vote for myself as president and have done so since 2012.
