It’s almost Election Season! Employees interested in serving as a Polling Election Official should review the Polling Leave Guidelines, which outline the following key areas: Legal guidance on conditions for participation and how Polling Leave affects employee time worked calculations.

An employee who wishes to utilize polling leave must sign a Polling Leave Use Agreement and give advance notice to his/her supervisor.

The guidelines and leave use agreement also can be accessed through the County Policies document library on Inside Albemarle (ACPS user name and password required).
