Not sure, I thought some companies give few hours off if they want to vote and come and/or make them work on the weekend. I have a vague memory of opting to vote and coming late to office than work on a weekend... But not sure, maybe I was on support that day & went in the 1-10 shift.. (I am talking about 5 years ago here)

a friend of mine has a holiday on the voting day but the company is making them work on saturday to compensate for that.

Here in Mumbai the companies tell people to go and vote early in the morning and reach office before 11
