National elections can sometimes lead to some leave time, but I haven’t heard much about primaries.

 

See, it’s easy for me. I can just vote on my merry way to work. But it would be harder if I had an earlier shift, or had 4 kids to feed and get out the door.

 

Kima Taylor, of the Open Society Institute-Baltimore, writes in her blog post that time off should be a part of wider efforts to boost turnout in local elections.

 

“It is time for employers to encourage employees that are eligible to become part of the nation’s future,” Taylor writes.

I agree. Everything possible should be done to encourage people to participate in this important national process.
