Ignore the people talking like they are lawyers and implying that your employer HAS to give you time off. The law is on a per-state basis and different requirements for each state.

I've often wondered this. We have whole days off to remember someone was born but somehow have to figure out how to work going into the polls and possibly waiting for a long time into our schedules. Something isn't right about that.

Do you know what state OP works in? That's the only way your statement can be accurate. The requirements differ per state. Some states don't require time off at all.

Check the local laws.
Polling places have extended hours, and it may be
legalcompulsory for employers to allow time off during the day to vote.[–] 26223622? 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
And to help people out. Here is each state's law. https://www.workplacefairness.org/voting-rights-time-off-work?state=AL#AL
