Iowa Ruling Maintains Two Hours Paid Vote Leave
Attorney General Robert L. Larson reaffirms Iowa law requiring employers to grant workers two hours off with pay to vote on election day if they would be unable to reach polls otherwise. The ruling aligns with a 1950 interpretation and follows a request by Secretary of State Melvin Synhorst for guidance in light of a U S Supreme Court decision. The measure applies to general elections with prior application required.
