University Voting Policy
The University encourages all faculty and staff to vote and allows flexibility to address required travel to polling places.
All employees at all KU work sites.
The University encourages all faculty and staff to vote. Voting polls are usually open before 8:00 a.m. and after 5:00 p.m. to allow voting before or after the normal work day. However, we recognize that faculty and staff may have to travel some distance to polling places. The University allows up to a maximum of two (2) hours of paid time in situations where travel time may affect a faculty or staff member's ability to cast a vote. Staff should request time off in advance from their supervisors if travel time to the polls is required.
Unless approved in advance for hourly employees, time taken may be considered an unauthorized absence.
