The amount of days they are entitled to is according to the number of kilometers they are required to travel to reach the destination where their names are registered on the electoral roll.

Voting leave for employees who work a 6-day working week:

a) 1 working day for those who have to travel from 100-200 kms

b) 2 working days for those who have to travel from 201-400 kms

c) 3 working days for those who need to travel 401 kms and who plan to travel by road for the entire journey, provided they have submitted a statement of declaration indicating their intent to do this

d) more than 3 days for island journeys that are particularly difficult due to the isolated nature of the location.
