    How would requiring two paid hours off to vote affect small businesses with limited staffing compared to larger employers?

  2. 02

    What evidence exists that current voting access barriers prevent eligible voters from casting ballots during existing poll hours?

  3. 03

    Should the bill specify which voting-related tasks beyond casting a ballot qualify for the two-hour paid leave period?
