Oprah Winfrey makes Election Day a company holiday for her workers

You get to vote, and you get to vote, and you get to vote!

Talk show icon and billionaire entrepreneur Oprah Winfrey is giving all of her workers Election Day off so they can cast their ballots. She made the announcement on Twitter and challenged other companies to follow her lead.

“In honor of those who fought and continue to fight for our rights, I’m announcing that November 3rd, Election Day, will be a company holiday at @owntv,” she wrote in a note acknowledging the 100-year anniversary of the day women were given the right to vote.

Winfrey encouraged her employees not only to check a box, but to get involved in the electoral process.
