OWN, AMC and Bad Robot are giving employees Nov. 3 off, as some companies launch voting initiatives and encourage volunteering at polls.

With Election Day looming on Tuesday, Nov. 3, entertainment companies are moving to make it a paid company holiday. It’s currently a civic holiday only in certain states , while in California employees without sufficient time to vote must be allowed two hours off with pay.
