Colorado Updates Voting Leave Law
Colorado recently updated its voting leave law to require employers of all sizes to allow employees to take leave to vote on any day that voter service and polling centers are open. Previously, voting leave was only required on the day of the election.
Employers don’t have to grant leave if an employee has at least three consecutive hours during which they’re not scheduled to work while the polls are open.
HB 26-1113 was signed by the governor on June 1, 2026, and took immediate effect.
