Hundreds of tech companies are turning Election Day into an unofficial holiday so employees have time to get to the polls. And while a big number of the organizations that we’ve seen are New York or California-based (including major brands like Spotify, Thrillist, and Evernote), many Southern CEOs are actively encouraging their workforce to rock the vote by offering time – or even the whole day – off. We found 38 companies, from Washington, DC all the way to Texas, who have publicized their “voter PTO,” but we’re sure there are more.
