Require employers to provide employees with paid time off to vote in federal elections.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with Time Off to Vote Act?
The Time Off to Vote Act is stalled in the House Committee on Education and Workforce as of August 4, 2025, and the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions as of July 29, 2025. Committee members must act to move these bills forward, but the binding constraint is that most federal legislation never receives a committee vote. This lack of action is the standard outcome for the vast majority of bills introduced in Congress.
