Duke University and Duke Health supervisors are encouraged to cancel non-essential meetings on Election Day and be flexible with scheduling to enable staff members who are unable to vote outside normal work hours to do so before, during, or after their assigned shifts. Duke’s voting policy can be found on the Duke Human Relations website.
Early Voting Numbers at Duke
