275:30-b  Paid Time Off to Vote.  On the day of any state election, as defined in RSA 652:3, an employer shall allow any employee to be absent from service or employment for not more than 2 hours between the time the polls open and close so the employee may vote.  The employee shall apply for such a leave of absence prior to election day.  The employer may specify the hours during which the employee may be absent; however, if the employee requests the leave of absence at the beginning or end of the work shift, the employer shall grant that request.  This section shall not apply to an employee who has 3 or more consecutive hours between the time polls open and close during which the employee is not employed on the job.  The employer shall not deduct from an employee’s usual salary or wages because of the absence.
