While these laws vary in each state, they generally require employers to give employees time off to vote if the polls aren’t open two or three hours outside of the employee’s regular shift. Some of these states require that employers pay employees for time off while they are voting. Some states require employees to request time off from their employers in advance. Quote: Now to the specific state laws. The following is a summary concerning time off to vote for employees in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico: State by State list on the site (I like Puerto Rico)

So unless someone is scheduled a solid 12 hour shift with no breaks or meal time - I am sure they can find time to vote. It is not like it is Black Friday or something.
