Have to be the devil's advocate here. If you give an employee a day off to vote, what are the odds that they still don't vote? Will this really solve the problem of an apathetic employee?

What about something else like a company held half day event that involves voting and doing something else fun (lunch or picnic?) ie. instead of a party bus...a voting bus of some sort?

Sure, some people will pirate PC games with or without Steam, but a lot of people switched to paying when it became more convenient. Convenience and availability matters. It wouldn't be that far-fetched to propose that this is also true in voting.

If I remove the first sentence from your posting, I get a straightforward statement that says "Employees will just take the day off and not vote."

If that's your view, I suggest owning it.
