If Election Day is a working day for me, am I entitled to leave work to go and vote?
Yes. The Ministry of Business and Employment will set out the regulations so that voters who are working on 21 December may have up to four hours to exercise their right to vote within their working day. These hours must be remunerated.
When the voter is working only part time, a proportional reduction will be made in the leave allowed.
