Canadian employers must give time off for voting

CBC, CA - Every Canadian has the right to demand three consecutive hours from an employer to cast their vote, according to Elections Canada.

Employers must simply enable employees to have three hours minimum on Monday to get to polling stations and mark their ballots.

For example: if a person lives in a riding where voting hours are 9: 30 a.m. until 9:30 p.m. PT and you work 11:00 a.m. until 7 p.m. PT, then the employer must allow the individual to arrive late or leave early to enable them to have three hours when polls are open during the day.
