Time Off to Vote for Employees — A State by State Survey. My Australian co-workers could not BELIEVE that the US holds elections on a Tuesday. “What if your boss doesn’t let you out to vote?!” I really like having them on a Saturday here.

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

UK General elections (the ones where you vote for new government) are on a Thursday and held in schools so kids get the day off 🙂 Opening times are normally 7am until 10pm, i think.
Can’t remember about local council elections but maybe they are the same.
Thanks for your link to my post on voitng.
Yep, council elections and all are on Thursdays in UK. And open late and early.
