Time Off to Vote
AS 15.15.100 — paid time off to vote for someone without two consecutive hours outside the shift
A qualified voter who does not have enough time outside working hours to vote at a state election may take off as much working time as voting needs, without losing pay.
Who handles this in Alaska: legal aid programs, lawyer referral and the state offices, listed in the Alaska directory.
An employee who has two consecutive hours to vote, either between the polls opening and the start of the shift or between the end of the shift and the polls closing, is considered to have enough time outside working hours.
