  Day Holiday had previously been passed by the State Legislature as a one-

 rs before the polls close.The election is general or special\, or an elect
 ion where propositions are submitted to a popular vote in the state.The po
 lls are open in Illinois from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.\, so most employees will ha
 ve time to vote before or after work. However\, if you meet the above crit
 eria\, you may receive up to two hours of release time during polling hour
