Texas mandates employers provide two hours of paid time off for voting on Election Day.

Texas law requires employers to provide paid time off for employees to vote on Election Day, specifically two hours if they lack sufficient time outside their shifts. If conflicts arise, employees should consult their employers. Noncompliance may lead to misdemeanor charges against employers, and employees can file wage claims if owed pay for voting leave. Additionally, 28 states and D.C. have similar laws, while resources for specific state regulations are available.
