    In most civilized countries, voting takes place on weekends and your employer is legally obligated to let you leave work to go vote

      Employees have to let you leave to vote.

      They can also fire you the next day for a coincidentally unrelated reason, and unless you have 50k in lawyers retainers handy there’s not shit you can do about it

      Some places give you a whole week to vote, and the polls are open 12 hours a day. So if you something happens and your plans are ruined, you have ample time to still make it to the polls.
