>> Tuesday, November 4, 2025, is the Statewide Special 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.
>>
>>
>>
>> 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,
>> please e-mail your question(s) to HR Policy at hrpolicy at ucr.edu.
