VOTING POLICY FOR APPROPRIATED/NON-APPROPRIATED FUND
CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES:
Voting is a right and a civic duty. Voting by employees is encouraged, however,
it is not intended to be done on government time unless it can be demonstrated
that a reasonable alternative cannot be found.
Excused absence will not be authorized for employees who desire to
register or vote in an election or a referendum on a civic matter if the
employee(s) can reasonably reach their polling place in time to register or
vote before or after his/her tour of duty. To facilitate registration and
voting by employees who cannot reach their polling place within reasonable times
before or after their tour of duty, two bands of time have been established on
election day. The first band begins when the polls open and ends 3 hours after
opening. The second band begins 3 hours
before the polls close. Insofar as is
practical, without disrupting operations, employees who cannot reasonably reach
the polling place on their own time may be excused so they can report to work
within the first time band or leave work within the second time band and for
the period of time which results in the lesser amount of time off. In most cases, excused absence will not be
necessary or appropriate.
Excused time is applicable on election day only. Excused time is not authorized for employees
who vote before election day during the extended/early voting period. For more information please contact the
Installation Voting Assistance Officer (912) 767-6044.
